This is probably a rare longhorn beetle since I cannot find many pictures of it in the Internet. In fact, I can only find one live specimen picture of it taken in Singapore. The first time that I saw one was in April 2013. It was feeding on the leaf of a Mango Tree. A year later in April 2014, I found another one (pictures below) on the same Mange Tree. Again, it was chewing on the leaf of the tree.
