Chrysanthia sp.
slender, approx. 3/4 inch long
spotted in dry wooded area
This handsome beetle landed on my hand as I was walking along a sandy road.
Thanks for the help, Flavio (and nice to meet you, btw). Michael the ID is appreciated.
Wow both species are so close. Because of the length of the antennae I'm more inclined towards Chrysanthia sp. Flavio, I will add it to the Portugal mission (my wonderful friend Antonio Ginja Ginja had told me about it before and it slipped my mind). In the meantime I will continue to research, but any clarification would be much appreciated.
