Thanks Asergio and Carol, as far as I know this particular one is not so common, I was lucky to see this one as a researcher found it at the moment I was visiting a wonderful place in a cloud forest

If all my beetles looked like yours and Sergio's, I would love beetles a lot more. HA! Wonderful colors!
