Retrachydes thoracicus
Beetle with olive-green elytra. Long and segmented antennae. There are orange details along the body.
It was found on a dead citrus tree.
This beetle shows an intriguing behavior, probably related to laying eggs. In the second and third pictures we can see its abdomen tip scratching the tree bark.
