Castiarina cf, sexplagiata
A bright jewel beetle. I am told it is sexplagita bot not so sure. I have not observed an example with the centre yellow bar missing its red margin.
Feeding on inflorescence of the spiky tea tree.
Today is our national Australia Day.

It looks like a hybrid sexplagiata x bella.
Nick has seen one the same and called it bella.
I don't know.
A montane version?
