Poecilometis sp.

Description:

A medium to large bug of speckled cream and brown all over. Banded antennae. Shield or stink bug form.

Habitat:

Hiding among the needle leaves of a casurina. In a public pathway.

Notes:

It's interesting now that most of these have been on casuarina although some species have a common name of 'Gum Tree Shield Bug'
Are there species for casuarina specifically? Distribution http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Poecilomet... More to learn here.
