This doesn’t look like the ignota that I’m used to. All of the ignota I have seen before have a metallic green pattern whereas in this specimen the pattern just looks black. Also every specimen in my collection has red apices with a pre apical mark whereas this specimen the mark covers the entire apices.
It might be that specimens from this area are differently marked as my specimens are from a but further north.

Castiarina ignota

The Castiarina are a tad too far out of view and focus to be able to ID them to species, but I do suspect they are both Castiarina scalaris. Do a search for Castiarina and see if they look like what you saw here. The longhorn beetle at top left (the grey one with longitudinal stripes) is Distichocera fuliginosa, and the cetonid beetle (the roundish pale yellow spotted job) is in the genus Clithria. and I am thinking it might be Clithris eucnemis. Cheers, Allen M. Sundholm.
