Paropsis marmorea
A lonely brown leaf beetle catching some winter sun. This is my first record of this species.
On red box (eucalyptus.) in a nature reserve.
Locking away regions of native growth habitat is very useful if we wish to maintain biodiversity. http://www.forestryimages.com/browse/sub...

Thank oyu Lori and Mark. I have changed the ID to Paropsis marmorea which differs from Paropsis geographica by being less strongly spotted and having more yellow color through the pronotum and skirt.

yes like fancy spats
Love these little leaf beetles. Especially their little feet.
Now it makes sense :)
Changed 'naive' to 'native' ok?
