Silver Scarab Beetle (Chrysina sp.)
24 January 2009, Rancho Naturalista, Costa Rica
This metallic glossy silver colored beetle showed up in the lodge during mid-morning.
I believe it's a species of Chrysina or Plusiotis. Can anybody identify
it specifically? I'd appreciate learning more about it.
You can see the trees and garden of the lodge reflected in the carapace.
