But my bug does not have the face of Raúl Juliá on its back.

Great Bo! Ispot is such a great place! Thank you very much for the support with the ID! Have a great day :)

I guess they come in different colours! All of them are interesting Sckel, and your spottings were cool in my eyes!. Augusto, do you have a lot of them in Colombia?

I have two bugs similar to this, but the design on the back is not so cool, it's dark.
