Can anyone put a name to this chafer which has been stealing honey from hives in Portugal? It is about 25mm long. Thanks Tony Tony Irwin attached the following image:  [25.23Kb] Tony ---------- Tony Irwin - http://www.museum.../index.htm |

I have one like this identified as Protaetia opaca, so maybe it's that one. |
