Dindingwe, great picture of the Turquoise Longhorn Beetle...but there's nothing turquoise about it!!

I agree, but they say the whitish patches are sometimes greenish and the legs can sometimes have greenish reflections as well. I suppose that's why it has got this name

Aha!

Klippies!

Here is another photo where you can see the uppder side of the hopper.
Kruger National Park

There are six species in the genus, all endemic to the eastern parts of southern Africa:
Schulthessiella difficilis
Schulthessiella forficata
Schulthessiella longicornis
Schulthessiella minuta
Schulthessiella odzaniae

Thank you

It still looks like a funny leaf to me

Added and corrected as well as I could. There are too many kinds of "families" etc., I get lost

Great pics!
