Sagra femorata
The metallic colouring of the beetle are wonderful.
If you are interested I've started a mission to document the wide variety of arthropods that Indonesia has to offer. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1773...
Why not use a common name instead of duplicating the scientific name. There's one in the suggestion. Thanks
@bayucca : thx for the info.. :)
in my childhood I often find them with colors like this, but sometimes the color is metallic blue.. in my region they are often called 'samber lilin' :)
Chrysomelidae/Leaf Beetles, Sagrinae, Sagra sp. and most probably Sagra femorata.

Probably not the same species but look at this amazing color variability, however, this might also be due different light angulation.
