Chauliognathus lugubris
seen in the bath-tub last night.
thanks Rachael and martini...
I agree with RachaelB I would not be concerned about the color variation. I would not be surprised to find this variation in nature. Here is an orange one http://www.flickr.com/photos/coupeetje/7...
http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...Although these ones have a band of yellow in colour - your photo looks more orangey.
Looks like a soldier beetle. I'll try and find a link.
