Description

This is most likely Polydrusus sericeus (Schaller) green immigrant leaf weevil. Characteristics: the green color and the fact that it is losing it's green color during it's life. As you can see there is a dark spot on the back. I think this is proove it is loosing it's green color. Many thanks to Apophis906 who helped me to figure out what the name of this creature could be.

I have no idea what it is, but it sure found a cool place to hang out. Great capture.

I don't know it's name, but it's nice and well captured... (What about calling him John?)
