Flower beetle

Lemodes coccinea

Description:

The way those orange lights appear in the elytra is fascinating. About 12mm long.

Habitat:

Exploring a large old eucalyptus log in a local nature reserve.

Notes:

Second spotting of this. The 'lights' move with the angle of incidence of sunlight. http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b... http://natureshare.org.au/media/contrib/...
