Tricolor soldier beetle (m)

Chauliognathus tricolor

Description:

Although these usually appear in plagues this was a solitary specimen. About 15mm long.

Habitat:

On a low shrub in a playground reserve.

Notes:

These brightly coloured beetles are apparently unappealing to birds.
Smaller than I remembered them - this was a male.
