Thanks Leuba.. And thanks oxyjack for this great information..

Oh wow, what a cool photo! What you appear to have here is a newly molted adult next to its recently shed exoskeleton. It looks like yet another of that family, but impossible to ID at this stage because its new exoskeleton hasnt fully hardened and darkened yet. That's when the patterns on the wings will become visible.
