Diphucephala sp.
An 8 mm scarab heavily cloaked in short setae. Head, thorax and elytra were a metallic green with tinges of red. Antennae had leaflets at the tip as with all chafers.
Spotted flying amongst a hedge with various native and exotic plants, in a reserve.
These chafers can decimate trees if in large numbers.
