Platymeris "mombo" is the animal in your photograph.
Platyermis biguttata (that is the original spelling) has white spots on the wings and yellow bands on the legs.

Thanks Orin! I bought these as very small nymphs and they only recently have matured. I bought them as Platymeris biguttata, and thought the 'Mombo' were Orange Spot w/ Red armbands, so wondered if they were a hybrid, a light Mombo, or a dark P.biguttata. In either case the Mombo's in my possession are big and hungry. More on the hungry side! True to thier name...killers!
