Peltoschema oceanica
A ladybird beetle??? No, but it is a mimic and it is a leaf beetle. They gain some protection by dressing up like a ladybird beetle which is one bad tasting creature.
Yes, of course on acacia as Peltoschema seem to always be.
The location is the same as the reference location.

I was expecting to find this one soon. It's quite distinctive and to the trained eye is not really like any ladybird beetle that you have ever met before.
Great find Martin.
