Yellow specimen - Argyripa lansbergei from Colombia (from Lemoult collection) Howdenypa gloriosa Pair from Colombia Hadrosticta viridiflua from Panama It is nearly impossible to properly capture the intense glowing and color changing effects of H. gloriosa with a camera! (Two different images of same specimens show color change) ![](https://i.imgur.com/RmumMom.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/StEeRSx.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/byDIqzE.jpg)

Those are some beautiful Cetoniinae species.
Your pictures are "cracking" brilliant in colors and details.
I could never get that using my Android phone however, I do have some small holdings of flower beetles which I have acquired and I will try to show them sometime...

Do you specialize in various scarab subfamilies or do you like various "colorful" beetle families ?

Do you specialize in various scarab subfamilies or do you like various "colorful" beetle families ? Thank you for the comments! With beetles I mainly collect Dynastinae, Buprestidae, Cetoniinae, Circulionidae, Cerambycidae, Rutelinae and Euchirinae. Also some butterfly and moth families as well as Phasmidae and Orthoptera.

Well, you certainly do have some varied interests but, as the saying goes "Variety is the spice of life"...
Your photography is outstanding and anytime you want to post pictures of the insects which interest you; I am sure that will be welcomed by everyone looking at them.
Thank you for sharing your interests and superb photographs with us !
