Euchroea histrionica

My first Euchroea histrionica suddenly walked around yesterday. I hope there are more than this one... Anyone can see what gender it is?

I was amazed at how beautifull it was, and also its strenght...

Nobody knows how to tell male from female with this species? I've done a bit of searching, and find little info in a language I can understand...

Look at the underside of the abdomen. In many Cetonid species, male beetles have a slight dip or depression running down the abdomen from top to bottom. Female beetles are evenly rounded with no depression.

Nice beetles. I'm UK based, let me know if you have any excess larvae from these.

Sorry about that. A lot of us are US located, so we're not allowed to have anything that isn't US native. Leaves us with a bit of an information void I'm afraid.

Thank you both. As Matt, I have also come to the conclusion it is a female. So I just hope the next one is differs a bit and have a groove so i can be certain. As its looking now, theres no larva coming, since this is the only specimen I have so far. I got the larva from bugzuk last year infact...

Wow, is it that strict in the US? I can sortoff see why, since you have high temperatures all year round in many states. Not a 'problem' we have to deal with here, its been around -10c - -23c for the last five months... If something from madagascar or something is put out here, its dead within minutes...
