:hi:

probably Protaetia angustata  (Germar, 1817) is more or less a common species in Italy.
but founding that in Greece was something new for me.
all shown specimens were collected in 28.may.2010 in Peloponnese, Kalogria area (38.161816/21.390235).

in photo:
mounted male
genitalia
mounted female (2 specimens)

Actually P. angustata is a E-european species which is present only in N Italy.
It is not particularly common but may be sometimes trapped in abundance in xeric or termophilous woodlands.
I have never seen it on flowers.

Did you collect it by trap or on thistles?

on some big thistle, don't know what species... I can only say that on the same plant was full of Agapanthia cynarae (Gyllenhal, 1817).

A vista l'ho presa diverse volte su Paliurus nelle prime settimane di giugno (Medeazza - TS, Sistiana - TS), alcuni esemplari molto "purpurei"

P. angustata is extremely common in continental Greece in June-July, especially on flowers of Cirsium, Onopordon, etc.

in bassa Val Camonica la trovo abbastanza comune insieme alla cuprea che si mangia le pesche precoci alla mia vigna :x :devil: intorno a giugno, ma anche in altri periodi dell'anno
