Field Notes

Description:

This very much resembles my other Microchrysa (flavicornis) spottings although larger, so I am tentatively calling it Microchrysa sp.

Habitat:

Spotted on Bougainvillea in a large semi-urban yard and garden near a disturbed patch of remnant forest in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
