Getting good photographs is a
Getting good photographs is a challenge for me too. The specimen here reminds me a great deal of C. sexguttata. C. scutellaris also comes in green down there, but I don't think Georgian scutellaris have spots, plus they are more pudgy than the specimen shown.

pls make sure to include exact location and crop images tight

I’m not sure where I was in Georgia, and if I crop it any tighter the image gets so much worse you can’t tell anything from it and I’m afraid peaople with send it strait to frass.
