Frog-legged leaf beetle

Sagra femorata

Description:

This shiny metallic green leaf beetle is also considered an agricultural pest. Thought to be originally from Malaysia, they are found around most of South and Southeast Asia. (EDIT) Some other post prompted me to request for a verification of the above ID. Sagra femorata/longicollis ??? Please help!
