Thank you so much Yuko. It gives me great pride showing you the beauty of my area in Costa Rica.

What a beautiful beetle!

definitely amazing :)

Thanks Jason! I agree. I see so few Calligraphy beetles in my area and I just happened to see this same species this morning. Amazing!

Cool! I think Costa Rica is amazing place.. :)

para el gusto de ustedes!

Simplemente hermoso

Hermoso

I found one other foto but I can't remember where now...sorry. I tried too find it again so that you can have another reference for your beetles.

Where did you find more photos of C. argus? I wasn't able to find any others...

thanks Jeannete! Anne Marie I checked out the link and various other fotos of the ARgus. None of them have the exact same color pattern. I am sure that genetic variance accounts for this difference.

Wow, beautiful :)

Thanks Lars! Thanks Dr. Atul! Gracias Harsuame! Goody I have edited the spotting to reflect your I.D. I couldn't find a similar looking example anywhere so this will remain, for now, Calligrapha Sp.

Espectacular bello

lovely!

Great shots, nice find.

Thanks Satyen!

Excellent Pics!

Thanks Leuba, I'll check into it. Anne I knew you would especially like this one. Thanks Gin!

Great-looking beetle. It looks like a castor-oil seed mimic except the patterns are too symmetrical and I don't know if you've got castor-oil plants growing in that area. Lovely photos ICN !

That's a beauty!

You are right....this is amazing!!
