Any idea of the size ?

Hard to be 100% sure without good under and upper side views. Aedeagus could be great too...

But, it should be Protaetia (Miksicus) acuminata (Fabricius, 1775)with 90% of chance to be right...

Thanks a lot Stephane, I did not collect them.

Size was under 2 cm.
There were about 7 of them on 5 slices of banana so they should be very common there.
