Field Notes

Notes:

After doing a series on leaf tip wilter bugs I noticed one of the twigs in the photographs was acting strangely. Researching it now. I have added a second possibility on this link

possibly. I have added a link in the notes of one with a brown nose but I still think this is it. Lol @ fat green
Mark Ridgway
The pinks and greens might be varying with age? I'll add the fat green spotting now...

I may have taken a liberty with this id as well. The image in the reference has a green nose. I am assuming that anyone who comes looking at the spotting will know better than me what the parameters for the species are
Mark Ridgway
Well done. Leuba has something very similar we have been trying to ID but she has no lines on the sides. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/18223092 Might be a good genus though. Weird catties these.
