The cicada that stayed 'dead' still ...

Fortunately for me - not the cicada - I found this specimen dead, right next to my motorbike, whilst visiting a waterfall in Chiang Rai. I have never seen a black and orange species before and have no idea what species it actually is. It would be great to learn what it is. It was rock solid when I found it and actually took it back to Khon Kaen with me. Unfortunately, I left it at my last house when I moved. 

Order: Hemiptera 
Family: Unknown
Vernacular name: Unknown
Scientific name: Unknown



Here is how I found him, resting in the grass.
