This picture was taken on 18.4.05. It is an Anthaxia; perhaps A. bicolor or A. semicuprea. The second picture was taken at Ussifia on the Carmel in February. it was inside a branch of olive-wood. I took the branch home and these were the insects (third picture) that emerged during the course of March.
