Eudicella schultzeorum is a striking African flower beetle known for its metallic green‑gold sheen and pale bands across the elytra. These bands vary between individuals—sometimes bold, sometimes faint—which makes the species visually distinctive even among the already colourful Eudicella group. Adults typically reach 3–5 cm, placing them in the mid‑sized cetoniine range. Like other flower beetles, they are diurnal, active, and highly engaging to watch as they explore, feed, and interact.
 
In the wild, E. schultzeorum inhabits humid forest environments across parts of central and western Africa. The species is adapted to warm, moisture‑rich leaf litter and decaying wood, where larvae develop and construct their pupal cells. Captive breeding reflects this ecology: larvae thrive in a substrate composed primarily of leaf humus and wood flake, and they grow steadily with occasional protein supplementation. Generation time is typically 7–9 months, and larvae may show cannibalism if overcrowded or underfed, so space and food availability are important considerations.
 
Adults are easy to maintain and well‑suited to both beginners and experienced beetle keepers. They are active during the day, feed readily on beetle jellies and fruits, and display the characteristic male horn typical of the genus. Males may spar, so keeping one male with two females is recommended to reduce stress and ensure successful breeding.
