Stephanorrhina julia is a jewel-like flower beetle endemic to Cameroon, belonging to the scarab family and closely related to the famous Goliath beetles. Adults reach around 25–30 mm and are instantly recognisable by their metallic green and red sheen, often decorated with pale whitish spots across the wing covers. In the wild they feed on nectar, sap flows, and fallen fruit, acting as both pollinators and decomposers within tropical forest ecosystems. Their life cycle follows the typical scarab pattern, with larvae developing in decaying organic matter before pupating in soil cocoons and emerging as lively, fruit-feeding adults.
