This organism about 18 mm has been observed in Karnataka, India
It was a little bit dying, but yet moving
Lying on a marble in my hotel, I was in hurry and did not offer the time to make good pictures of it
Just a little video from which I extract a few not-so-good-pictures
As this organism male (if the determination is ok ) is not present in the gallery, I post these items to share

Solito,

This is not a Michotamia sp. but instead a Promachus sp. (a male of one of the several red-legged spp. in India).

Cheers,

Eric
