Moth Bug (Parapioxys jucundus) Family Eurybrachidae

These are so cute and it is the first time I have found one.
They belong to the family Eurybrachidae, this one is parapioxys jucundus and has a wingspan of up 3/4 inch.
Their coloring mimics some lichen on which they sit and so are not easily seen.
He was crawling on the inside of my fishtank so I managed to get some shots of his underside.
