During a walk through the grounds of TAFE collecting plant specimens for our final test next week i discovered this beautifully coloured beetle nestled on the leaf of a Brachychiton discolor (Lacebark Tree), we get in trouble when we don't use scientific names, with my new phone having the capability of macro i was able to get a reasonable close up. I await the day when i can afford a macro lens for my DSLR as it is my favourite form of photography so when i found out my phone had macro capability i was a very happy Samsung SIII user :D I was told the name of this beetle but have forgotten it unfortunately, i believe it starts with a 'H'..... Enjoy :)
WOW....great shot, Beau!!! Love it!! I think the name you may be looking for is a 'harlequin beetle'??
