Peltoschema oceanica
Similar colours to many ladybirds. Rows of fine pitting on elytra. Four even spots across the pronotum. About 6mm long.
On acacia mearnsii in a local nature reserve. Cardinia.
What a little sneak. I was sure it was just another ladybird.
family: CHRYSOMELIDAE
subfamily: Chrysomelinae

Well spotted Mark.
You are definitely smarter than a beetle.
This one had me fooled in the early days.
