About Sagra femorata (Drury, 1773)
Sagra femorata, also known as Sagra femorata (Drury, 1773), can grow to a length of 20 mm (0.79 in). This species of beetle displays prominent sexual dimorphism: males are far larger, and have very long, strong hind legs that resemble frog legs, which is the origin of its common name. This distinct physical trait helps males dominate competing opponents during the breeding season. While the species' base body color varies quite a bit across individuals, it is most commonly metallic blue-green. This beetle species is distributed across the forests of Cambodia, China, India, Java, Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.
