Hi Pirom, could you possibly please post this dead specimen to me? I think this might be Temognatha sanguinea, not Temognatha limbata, as yours has more strongly bispinose elytra than Temognatha limbata has. Also, the pronotum is too shiny for T. limbata. There is a small chance it is T. affinis, but I dont think so. Either way If I could please be sent the specimen, handled extremely carefully (so as to not break any of its appendages) placed between wads of tissue in a takeaway container in a postal padded bag, I can make a definitive ID. I am on email at entom2@optusnet.com.au. and am on Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp as 'Allen Sundholm' Cheers, Allen M. Sundholm
