Sceleocantha glabricollis
A really chunky longicorn beetle trapped in a stainless steel basin. About 35mm long and much wider than most around at the moment. Interesting yellow setae around thorax area joints.
In a barbeque area in a local nature reserve.
This is the eastern Australian version and would probably be S.pilosicollis in Western Australia. Feeding on acacia species.
