Hi Ezekiel and welcome to Project Noah. Fantastic shots of a green christmas beetle. They are usually about finished this time of year... at least in Vic. anyway. Your Wiki link is to their home page.. you might want to replace it with this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_b... Another invaluable reference for Aus is http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Anoplognat... Hope you enjoy the site.

Welcome! You'll have a blast here. Cool beetle, it must have been difficult to photograph it as it took off!
