Pyrops heringi, again!

[orionmystery]

I went back to Sabah again a few weeks ago for a macro vacation and was lucky enough to have found this beauty again, up close this time. Of all the places, it was found on fallen twigs on the ground. One of my friends spotted it only when he got too closed and the bug moved!
