Emerald Euphoria (Euphoria fulgida) At the edge of a dense mixed forest. It was not happy to be on the hot ground in full sun. I think it may have been overheating as it began vibrating its wings and elytra rapidly whilst moving toward a shaded area. It ceased this behavior once it reached shade. <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/80999/emerald_euphoria_euphoria_fulgida.html" title="Emerald Euphoria (Euphoria fulgida)"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3231/80999_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1767225610&Signature=TAgOkLJjuyyNAB3k5U4bIgMhkSY%3D" width="102" height="152" alt="Emerald Euphoria (Euphoria fulgida) At the edge of a dense mixed forest.

      Thank you, Ferdy! It was even more vibrant in person! I had to fiddle with camera settings as it was so iridescent and bright! Posted 6 years ago
