I found this on the tree trunk this morning and it hid itself in the crevice created in the dried up portion. Which is this? I had not seen this before in my yard.
Which is this insect - black and white?
It's an assassin bug (family Reduviidae); looks like an Acanthaspis sp. - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Reduviidae_of_India#/media/File:ReduviidaeBlr2.jpg
Wow, Flap. Thanks for that. It is indeed that! And I see that photo was contributed from someone having taken the photo in Bengaluru which is 90 miles from here!
