Thanks for that detail about the red reflection. I hadn't picked that up.

They're rarely this colorful and who knows how they're not in Chrysomelidae. I've spotted another and its a Tenebrionidae. I think yours is too. But I don't know the species http://www.flickr.com/photos/66925960@N0...

Great one Aldrin. Congratulations.

beautiful!
