Hi Nuwan, I was fortunate to see these bugs growing up on a Teak Wood Tree (Tectona grandis) on two occasions with a few weeks gap. But they never let me see them matured, but they disappeared somewhere. In those days I had spotted a few bugs which I suppose one of them could be above bugs matured form, and plase find them below... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31932088 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/34948003 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31950017 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/35737019 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/34468075 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31932088 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/30324512 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31282690 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31953008 Thank you Nuwan With Regards Joseph
