A glowing green bug

Also yesterday, I spotted this bug on my porch.

It may not look like it in the photo, but the colour was a bright shining green! It made me think of electronic bugs from a sci-fi movie.

a closer look

I posted it on Facebook, and a Penangite friend said that they saw a lot of these when they were in school! Seems that there are less of them nowadays. If it's so rare, I should have caught it to keep as a pet! :P

Note: He said that it's a kind of Ischiopsopha bifasciata, in case anyone is interested.
