Eupoecila australasiae
Found this beautiful beetle near a stream in tropical North Queensland, Australia.
I'm guessing its in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea
This is a scarab but the taxon is family according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eupoecila_a...
I spotted some in their pupae http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/771...
