Gorgeous species! great shots Rachel!
Excellent shots Rachael. These are very small.
What a beautiful beetle! Great series, Rachael!
Wow, that is cool. Thanks for picking that up Leuba.
Rachael, great spotting. I think this beetle is rather special - it's a Southern ladybird (Cleobora mellyi). It looks very like a transverse ladybird but there are some differences including the slight flaring of the elytra.
This one looks like my spotting

I thought mine was a transverse ladybird too - so excited to find it's not..
