Scarabaeidae, Cethoniinae, Goliathini, should be Stephanorrhina princeps, an endemic flower beetle from Malawi. Nice one! http://www.beetlebreeding.ch/archiv/Pcurik/S.princeps.JPG http://www.beetlebreeding.ch/archiv/Jahn%20Oldrich%2025.06.02/Stephanorrhina-princeps.JPG http://www.beetlebreeding.ch/archiv/borhuah%2020.06.03/Stephanorhinna%20princeps.JPG http://www.biolib.cz/en/image/id227451/ http://entomotopia.weebly.com/stephanorrhina-princeps-bamptoni.html
