Sternocera sternicornis
Jewel Beetles/Metallic Woodborers (Family Buprestidae) are sometimes known as the metallic wood-boring beetles. Many adult forms have beautiful reflective colors
Stunning! I really like the last photo with it on your finger, really shows how big it is.
Gorgeous. The common Thailand Jewel Beetle (Sternocera aequisignata) is best known but this one is more pretty. See others here http://utenti.romascuola.net/bups/steras...
Amazing color. Dots seem to be the nature's way to decorate and reinforce a plain plate.
