Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Uups, just noticed you already had the genus name, but 2 days ago not ;-)... I usually have more than 20 windows open for searching until a crash of my MacBook...
Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae, Trichiini, Trigonopeltastes sp., yours is the most probably the same one as the one in the link, but only genus name indicated. http://www.boldsystems.org/pics/ASSCR/INBIOCRI002211328%2B1310147290.jpg
