Lema diversa is a member of the shining beetle family. It is really beautiful, and I like its black legs and its wings when it flies.

When I took the shot, I was very careful because any vibration sends it flying. I wish I could have taken a flying shot, but nevertheless, it was worth it.

This beetle 🐞 falls under the Criocerinae beetle family.

Check it out below!
