hahaha I'm late :(
no problem, that's easy for me :) but this already has the ID...
I have told her already that this is her assignment :D
no this one is totally different ;) tnx
I meant this one but doesn't look that same http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds4/insectinfocuscrepidoderaaurata.htm
Ok thought it could be the light that's why looks greener but there was also another species that look similar to this ones let me find that :)
maybe it is.... they are pretty green though, the others before were bluer ...anyway i'm seeing so many var. in just a month apart that you are probably right
To me looks the same but you never know :) http://www.treknature.com/gallery/photo217170.htm
http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/23514011 same location few months ago- bigger beetles, those up are much smaller and greener
Amazing beetles, check this species Gastrophysa polygoni if not that one then must be its cousin :)
pa ne mora mi baš svaka imati nadgrobni spomenik ;D
koliko vidim imaju sve noge, boja nije opala, ticala na mjestu...slatke su!
