Lemodes sp.
About 14mm long with iridescent red/orange patches on a darker red background. The bright patches are particularly on the rear end.
Exploring a large, barkless eucalyptus log in a local nature reserve.
Possibly Lemodes coccinea or a relative although patterns look slightly different... yet to confirm patterns and species.

Thanks Stephen.
Yes, Lemodes. Not sure off hand of species
Just love this "glowing" beetle.
