Hi there,
Is there a guide or key available to the European Cetonia species. I must have 100+ of these lovelies, collected from Spain to Greece, but not one is named yet!
Any help to get me started would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Many thanks for the reply.
I will probably try to photograph all those that look different and post here.
Still confused! LOL

An illustrated key to the Cetonia of France can be found at the following link: www.insecte.org/spip.php?article15The key is in French but can be translated easily using the Google Chrome browser and possibly others. |
