This beautiful looking bug was sitting on the leaf of a plant (Goodenia ovata) that is seen everywhere at this time of year. It is a nymph of a eucalyptus tip-wilter bug - probably a later instar.

It's on goodenia ovata, a common native and often planted in parks. The bug is way too conspicuous in its show off jacket!
Thanks alice- yes, I liked the colours. Maybe he knew he was going to be photographed !
Beautiful picture!
These sure are dapper looking little bugs.
