Sorry, Ahmed, but I don't think Buprestis aurulenta is the correct species. Online documentation suggests Buprestis aurulenta is a North America species, with no reports known from Asia.

Furthermore, Buprestis aurulenta has a clear red stripe across the length of its body, not shown on your photo.

You should be close though. It's definitely in the family "Buprestidae" (Metallic Wood-boring Beetles), but likely a different species. Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
