Glowing jewel beetle - Anthaxia candens (female)
Beetles in the Buprestidae Family are aptly named Jewel beetles for their colorful and metallic shiny body. However, among them, Anthaxia candens is perhaps the most colorful of all. In fact, the scientific name of the species, candens, means glowing.
It is a very rare species found in Central, Southern and Western Europe. These beetles lay their eggs almost exclusively in the trees of cherry, plum and only occasionally other genus Prunus be considered. The larvae develop under the bark.
