SPOTTED FLOWER BEETLE - STEPHANORRHINA GUTTATA

THE SCIENCE

Stephanorrhina guttata, known as both the Spotted Flower beetle and the Mistletoe beetle, is a colorful species of beetle in the Scarabaeidae family. It’s found primarily throughout Cameroon and Nigeria, but has also been spotted in other surrounding countries in Central Africa. Members of this species typically reach between 1 and 1.2 inches in length. These beetles are a brilliant, metallic green and red with whitish spots; the Xmas-themed coloration earns them the latter common name.
