Field Notes

Description:

A longhorn beetle with orange to yellow color spots. Like typical longhorn beetle, the length of the antennae (or horn) is at least twice the length of the body. It was found under the leaf of a mango tree (Mangifera indica). Although there was a relatively large hole on the leaf, I am not sure whether it was the work of this beetle.

Habitat:

Park

Notes:

This was the one and only time so far that I saw this beetle. Any help with the identity (scientific name) of this beetle will be appreciated.
