Acacia leaf beetle

Calomela curtisi

Description:

A handsome red leaf beetle with metallic blue zones on its elytra and pronotum It looks like it is wearing a smart suit but does not camouflage very well.

Habitat:

Associated with Acacia

Notes:

Sites Morwell and lifeunseen give this name to the green species so there is some confusion about the correct name http://morwellnp.pangaean.net/cgi-bin/sh... I have a bad photo from ages ago and this is an update. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/783...
