I wish I did. Encountered it on a hike and was surprised by its blueish color. Posted 13 years ago

  Thanks for identifying it. Sorry that JungleDragon cannot find it. The reason is that an English Wikipedia article needs to exist for JungleDragon to link it correctly, and for this specie there is no such page. Still, we now know what it is! Posted 13 years ago
