Because of its glamorous metallic colors, these were the popular bugs Hong Kong kids used to spend their springs and summers finding them in the bush back in the 1970’s to 80’s.
There are over 30,000 species of scarabs in the world.
In Hong Kong, the more common scarabs include The green chafer beetles (Anomala cupripes and Anomala corpulenta)
