Thank you bayucca! I suddenly remembered that I had seen this beetle before but did'nt know I was a member of PN then. Looked back through my Spottings and there it was, so did a fresh search and came up with this link

Carabidae, Cicindelinae, Tiger Beetle. Tricky one! Most and different ones are green and orange, not blue and yellow. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4mOU-XwQm3c/UBSIfsM3DyI/AAAAAAAAAYY/djshchmc8O8/s1600/Protocollyris+probsti.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/angiud/6014847278/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/57927542@N02/8389269555 https://www.flickr.com/photos/57927542@N02/7962135396 http://www.photomalaysia.com/forums/showthread.php?196753-I-shall-start-my-Run-again https://www.flickr.com/photos/23271361@N06/4776598601/
