Chrysochroa edwardsii is a beetle of the Buprestidae family.
Chrysochroa edwardsii can reach a length of about 40 millimetres (1.6 in). Elytra are metallic green, with a large and rounded yellow-orange transversal band. [1] Pronotum can be greenish with a strong metallic red tint [1] or dark purple and the legs are bright green. Only the yellow-orange band shows a medium to high reflectance in the near-infrared part of the spectrum. [1]
These beetles can be found in India and Thailand.
Buprestidae is a family of beetles known as jewel beetles or metallic wood-boring beetles because of their glossy iridescent colors. Larvae of this family are known as flatheaded borers. The family is among the largest of the beetles, with some 15,500 species known in 775 genera. In addition, almost 100 fossil species have been described.
In infrared photography, the photographic film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nm to about 900 nm. Film is usually sensitive to visible light too, so an infrared-passing filter is used; this lets infrared (IR) light pass through to the camera, but blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum.
The golden poison frog, also known as the golden dart frog or golden poison arrow frog, is a poison dart frog endemic from the rainforests of Colombia. The golden poison frog has become endangered due to habitat destruction within its naturally limited range. Despite its small size, this frog is considered to be the most poisonous extant animal species on the planet.
Cotinis nitida, commonly known as the green June beetle, June bug or June beetle, is a beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in the eastern United States and Canada, where it is most abundant in the South. It is sometimes confused with the related southwestern species figeater beetle Cotinis mutabilis, which is less destructive.

Buprestis rufipes, the red-legged buprestis, is a green metallic wood boring beetle native to southern and eastern United States in North America. Little is known about this beetle. It apparently inhabits dead or dying hardwood in its adult phase.
Chrysochroa elegans, the Japanese jewel beetle, is a species of metallic wood-boring beetles (Buprestidae). It may be a synonym for Chrysochroa fulgidissima.
Evides triangularis is a South African wood-boring jewel beetle species in the family of Buprestidae. It has a metallic green coloration that is not reflective in the near-infrared renge of the spectrum.
