The Emerald Jewel Beetle or Ornate Jewel Beetle (Sternocera ruficornis) is a species of beetle belonging to the Buprestidae family. This species can reach a length of about 30–50 millimetres (1.2–2”). The elytra and pronotum have a bright green iridescence and the pronotum is densely punctured. It is visually very similar to S. aequisignata; the major morphological difference is that the legs of S. ruficornis are red and those of S. aequisignata are green.
Frame dimensions 12×12cm (74.7”x4.7”). Wall hanging, glass removed for photos to avoid glare, all frames ship with glass.

This insect was set, mounted and framed by me in my Norfolk garden studio. This would be beautiful addition to your home, office or studio.
