Thank you bayucca much appreciate all the idents that you have been able to give me
Thanks Rob!! It was quite a morning when I spotted these. A new mountain track which I will be visiting again tomorrow morning : )
Thank you bayucca ... I had no idea they were 3 different sp. Please could check to see that I have updated the info correctly.
Viv !! thats a ridiculously awesome spotting, I can only imagine how much were you smiling at the time. Definitely one up for southern Thailand.
That's actually the first time on Project Noah that I put 3 IDs for 1 spotting ;-)... But I cannot keep open all my windows until you have made separate spottings. You may can take the IDs after the re-load of the 3 species, make for example some crops and add me as IDer in case somebody is complaining about an ID ;-)...
#1 right is Glycyphana pygmaea. https://www.flickr.com/photos/coleoptera-us/8727920951/

You have 3 different species here! Please, make separate spottings! I give you already the IDs for all. Scarabaeidae, Cetoninae, Glycyphana sp. #3 is Glycyphana nicobarica. http://www.actias.de/index.php?page=Attachment&attachmentID=15169&thumbnail=1&embedded=1 http://www.actias.de/index.php?page=Attachment&attachmentID=15170&thumbnail=1&embedded=1 https://www.flickr.com/photos/63288875@N04/7343661558/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/angiud/6210435105/ http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8092/8401165000_9642b81d86.jpg #2 or left of #1 is Glycyphana festiva.
