Notes:

I spotted this at Mandiyaco gorge. I was with a bunch of other backpackers checking out the gorge when I spotted this on our way out. It was raining but I couldn't resist trying to get some pics of this. I caught up with group about 10 minutes, while they were waiting for a ride back to the hostel, near Mocoa.

Thanks for the ID bayucca and comments Adarsha and Sckel. I love the yellow lines too, that's why I couldn't resist photographing this guy, even though it was starting to rain heavily.

lovely yellow color. You have a bug too well dressed for the meeting business.

Coreidae, Coreinae, Hypselonotini, Hypselonotus sp. and most probably Hypselonotus linea.
