I have pin pointed the location. The area is a small very rocky hill with 5 water catchment streams (hard to see in sat photo) that feed the village dam. Two streams run continuously as there are a lot of natural fountains in the area. A number of small boggy clay patches where the ground levels out a bit.

Description: This looks like a common dotted fruit chafer but the white dots are only noticeable around the edges of the body. I could only see the lighter dots covering the rest of the body in my photos not with the naked eye.
