Bought from a professional entomologist’s website. Only posting because of iNat’s lack of this species and it’s beauty. Chrysobothris vitalisi according to the collection data. I also purchased two other species that aren’t on here yet (one unidentified and one Chrysobothris cyanipennis) - if the collection data is good I’ll post them too. @catenatus @tuftedparidae
