Nice the way the wing pattern makes it look like a Scorpion to a would be predator.

Certainly a Euleia heraclei. Concerning the "scorpio" pattern - in the Far East E. scorpioides it is even more peculiar in that respect. However, it is dubious to matter more than a recognition sign for own species...
