Rose-chafer Protaetia cuprea
Rose-chafer Protaetia cuprea. Wimbledon Special. Anything shiny catches the eye, especially a large metallic purple and green chafer along a path. The colors instantly recall Wimbledon and a particular suit of Queen Elizabeth II. Finding a magnificent chafer on a path is a bit of Christmas come early.
