Back in 2012, I was working my way around the Helicopter Pad Lake at Nam Nao NP, Petchabun and I noticed a large Lantern Bug resting amongst the grasses. It was later IDd by Noppadon Makbun as probably the Hong Kong Lantern Bug (or fly) Zanna chinensis. Not sure how common this species is (seems known from China), but it is the only one I have spotted. A beautiful species and well worth time out from dragonfly hunting.
Note: reading up on the species, what little information there is, records the fact that this species was spotted amongst the grasses, as this was. Possibly a preferred habitat over the usual tree stumps.
