Chrysochroa vittata

Chrysochroa vittata is a species of beetle in the Buprestidae family.

Description
Chrysochroa vittata can reach a length of about 35 - 43 mm. Elytra normally are metallic green, with metallic red and blue longitudinal stripes. The legs are bright green. These wood-boring beetles show a striking example of the colour-changing feature called iridescence. Their metallic colours derive from structural colours created by multilayers in the cuticle. The insect may appear red, greenish or completely green depending on the light incidence.

Distribution
This species can be found from India to China and Thailand.
