Does not seem to correspond to anything listed around here. Spikelets in pairs and pairs along two rows. Like P. nutans, but with several racemes and racemes four spikelets wide. Unless it is again some variation of P. scrobiculatum? But does not look like the usual P. s. that I see around here. Spikelets shape more elongated among other things. Presumably the same species as this other nearby obs https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/95830437

To enrich knowledge - What is inside (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/25865682), I try study more / deeper ..

Today, I found some nests (e.g. photo 8~11) and only opened 2 outer leaves of 1 nest to seeing inside (photo 1~7).

In this case, some wet muddy materials and a larva inside.

紅腳異麗金龜 Anomala rubripes

Notes from @zhaomzhai :
Anomala rubripes Lin, 1996 and Anomala virens Lin, 1996 are similar in size.
But A.virens with coppery green ventral aspect (sometimes with reddish tinge)
The most obvious character is the fiery margin of pronotum in Anomala rubripes.
Which is absent in A. virens and A. russiventris.
Anomala russiventris Fairmaire, is rather smaller (1.4~1.8cm).
Anomala cupripes only occurs in China (Yunnan), Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand.
Anomala virens seems not an lowland species. At least with an altitude of higher than 200~300 meters.
