      Thanks, Ferdy :)
      Tried to look up the ID, there are several Longhorn Beetles that can be found on Fuvahmulah Island, where I saw this one. And even then, there were no mention of scientific name of them :(
      They could possibly be similar to species that can be found from Sri Lanka or India, but I don't have the expertise to check and verify them.       Posted 7 years ago

        Managed to get this want identified, a very common 'pest' in India.
        Abo Elias close-up is much more impressive!         Posted 5 years ago
