Cheirolasia burkei is a small cetoniine from southwestern Africa.  It is brilliantly coloured with a striking pattern of yellow-green spots on a shiny black background.  The adults, like most other members of the cetoniine subfamily, are attracted to very ripe fruit and flows of tree sap.  The larvae live in accumulations of composting plant material such as decaying wood and leaves.  Pupation takes longer (several months) to complete in this species than with other types of small cetoniines.
