This polka dotted leaf beetle gathers communally during the day, retreating under bark and awaiting nocturnal feeding forays.
Found under bark.

They'd call them beetles. I'd have one too.
Very nice. I wished they made cars like these - probably not very aerodynamic but I'd love one.
Thank you sunnyjosef
Beautiful little pair Martin...
Thank you Doc. Some observations are magical moments. I saw about six together. I was actually looking for them but still surprised at this lucky find. I can only fit two in my macro lens.
A pretty pair Martin!
Thanks Mark.
I do not think they occur in Victoria.
Stunning paropsid.
