Nice shot...wonderful Scarab...Cetoniidae is subfamily of Scarabaeidae/Scarab beetles. All of them are spectacular. Their (Macro) pictures reveal their real beauty... They are very wonderful and most necessary part in Web of Life on the Earth.

This is a flower beetle from the family cetoniidae. It reminds me of the Australian fiddler beetle that is closely related; http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8260143
