Chrysina limbata is a species of scarab beetle found only in mid-altitude forests in Costa Rica and western Panama.

[5] C. limbata is in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea, family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Rutelinae and tribe Rutelini.

[2] They have a reflective silver metallic appearance which is achieved through thin film interference within layers of chitin.

The rain forest of Costa Rica where C. limbata lives has water suspended from leaves at ground level.

The life cycle begins when the female lays an egg, which becomes a larva, then a c-shaped pupa, which becomes an adult.
