Calomela curtsi
A red leaf beetle with dark elytra patches and pronotal spots.
On Acacia (Black Wattle; Acacia mearnsii) in a nature reserve.
Of course this photograph was set up. The native flowers (Geraldton Wax; Chamelaucium uncinatum) come from my garden. The wind was too strong for easy photography in the field.

No wonder it looks confused. :)
That's great Ernst
