[Taxacom] Cetoniinae ID

[Fabian Haas]

Dear All,

once more I would need some ID help with a Cetoniinae beetle, which is 
currently chewing up the plum crops around Nairobi, Kenya.

Somehow all my pest information sources dont show that species, and I 
assume its basically a freak or rare incidence that this beetle is doing 
that.

Single species, metallic green all over dorsal side, about 12 mm long. 
Digital photos available.

best
Fabian
