Paropsisterna gloriosa
This small beetle is bright as a button and widespread along the eastern coast of Australia. This specimen is a variation of the usual form. The rear image (only) shows two spots (in bright red) on each side that also appear in the previous sighting (in the same tree). http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/229... of a related beetle

However, we are told they are different species
Quite a unique little beetle. One would swear that he had been painted if not knowing better.
Exactly what i was thinking Lauren, thank you Martin
Amazing! It looks like it was painted by a child!
A glorious series, ToshimiDowaki
