Family Buprestidae, the metallic wood boring beetles - some of my favorites from the collection.
Julodis klugi... look familiar? Made a soft sculpture of this one, will do a comparison post soon.
Chrysochroa ocellata, I think the spots are fabulous.
Chalcophora fortis
Sternocera pulchra
Dicerca tenebrica

A beautiful collection there none of which seem to look even a bit like ours except for the one with the spots. We have one which is the same colors but in ines not spots.
Wow - gorgeous beetles and photos!
I wanna pet and cuddle the first one.
The correct name for Julodis klugi is rather Julodis viridipes.
cheers, Chuck Bellamy

I think your post is very good, rather I would have liked to read a bit more about this topic because I think it is quite interesting

Having skimmed through all of your posts, I am positively jealous. Thank you for showing me that the person I am striving to be, has already existed in one form or another :P
You are... INSPIRING!!!
