Chalcolepidius bomplandi
A giant metallic green Click Beetle with yellow-orange stripes on the sides of the thorax and abdomen, 3 cm long. Family Elateridae.
On a moss covered tree trunk, Lacandon Jungle, Mayan Ruins of Bonampak, Chiapas, Mexico.
It played dead when I touched it and was motionless in my hand for a while. http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2013/06/25/c... https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/42... https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/57... https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17...
