At porch light. It's similar some of the chocolates so perhaps it's close. Belgian? Hersheys?

Thanks to both of you
The new Peterson guide only shows it from below which is why I missed it there.
I've been trying for a couple of nights to get a rich vibrant shot of this beauty but have found that reflective glare is an issue. Shooting slightly from the side gets rid of most of it. Now I see that most of the other shots posted on BG have the same problem. Perhaps that's why the Peterson guide opted for the dorsal view. Less glare from below?
