Mystery Beetle


 Don't have a clue what this beetle is. Found several of them in a small area of a bamboo forest I was walking through with Professor Ewan near our home in Japan. We took a lot of photos and spent some time after we came back looking through one of his bug books without any success. It was about the size of a fingernail, green and cream color and didn't fly away despite getting a lot of prodding and handling. We came back the next day for another look but they'd all disappeared so if anybody out there has any idea what it is, please add a comment to this. My thanks in advance. Until then this is the 'mystery beetle'  :)
