Merylis bicolor
A beetle with blue elythrae, the body seems to be orange or orange-red beneath. Some 25 to 30 mm in length.
Seen on okra flowers, in semi urban setting - not clear if feeding on them or predating aphids or something similar. Seen in central Nigeria, agricultural plain.
Thank you Thaptor for the help with IDing this species.
