@MazzV happy to help. I’ll go back to the other sighting & add a link to help you see what I see😊

This one may look similar to Orcus australasiae, but it’s actually a Leaf Beetle not a Ladybird Beetle. It appears to have two rows of four spots but It’s difficult for me to see enough detail in this one photo to verify whether it’s Paropsisterna octosignata, or the mimic Paropsisterna nigerrima, so I’ll have to put it through at Genus-level😊

Paropsisterna sp. (genus)

Hi @DiBickers!,

Well I'll be . . . ! I'm still trying to see their wings, but the resolution is too poor. I'm thinking you must be really familiar with these clandestine creatures, you were so quick to pick up on them. Thanks for the linkage to my earlier sighting, it all helps build the knowledge base. Warmest Regards, MazzV
