Oh ok, that's what was missing in my head :). I thought they were the same size!
Jopy
this is small beetle, about 1 cm, your rose chafer should be bigger :) your beetle is the most closely related to genus Protetia...
FaredinAliyevski
Oh wouldn't have guessed that since they look so similar. Weird :)
Jopy
No, they are the same order: Coleoptera, your is family Scarabaeidae, genus Cetoniinae and mine is family Chrysomelidae, genus Cryptocephalinae or Cylindrical leaf beetle...
FaredinAliyevski
Aren't they from the same genus is the one you identified for me?
Jopy
Thanks! and I think I found ID :) already have spotted this beetle, but in blue form...
