**Colours**: Metallic green body, metallic blue legs.

**Location:** Austrian Alps, next to a freshwater lake

**Size:** Very large - greater than 1ā€ inch / 2.5cm

**Antennae**: Huge, longer than the body in some of them, almost!

**Plant**: Preferred a certain type of tree - see pic above.

**Other info**: Flies rather well.

Thank you! There were loads of them!

Edit: It looks similar to **Aromia Moschata**, but the colours are wrong as it has a metallic green body with metallic green legs, where as **AM** is brown?
