New genus for our database eFI, need a new page.

very nice pictures, … May I ask … to tell us what is the beautiful insect?

Thanks … for a new taxon, the insect as I see resembles with Red cotton bug..

This is Largidae, genus Physopelta perhaps Physopelta gutta gutta but not sure. A type of Bordered Leaf Bug.
