Great series Billo! I have removed this from the Rare Colour Morph mission as it seems there are many spottings with this colouring here on Project Noah as well as for a general Google search for Calligraphy Beetles. Here is one by fellow ranger Luis Stevens. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12733198 This just might be yours. With this information you may identify this lovely beetle to the species level. Thank you for your contribution and happy spotting!
