Oedemera nobilis, also known as the False Oil Beetle, Thick-Legged Flower Beetle or Swollen-Thighed Beetle is a beetle in the family Oedemeridae, a common species in Western Europe, including the south of England. The male, as in most Oedemera species, possesses the hind femora very swollen, whereas in female the femora are thin; the elytra are strongly narrowed towards the apexes, not hiding the membranous hind wings. It is bright green, frequently with a golden or coppery shine; some individuals are blue or violaceous. It can only be confused with Oedemera flavipes (which does not live in England), from which it differs by its colour, as well as by the long white pubescence on the head, pronotum and hind tibiae of males
