You shall listen to igor!

The wing venation is poorly visible, but this shape of the hind leg is not found in Horlclera.

I have to admit that witthout igor's correction I would not have spotted the difference. Hindsight is 20/20...

My first thought also was Bicellaria but also I thought I could see a backwards pointing proboscis. Now I realise it is the left fore femur pointing forwards! LoL
