Orange spotted ladybird beetle

Orcus australasiae

Description:

A steel-blue glossy ladybird beetle with six orange spots. This is not one of my better photos.

Habitat:

Found on Acacia in a national park.

Notes:

The four spotted acacia leaf beetle was also found in the same park and on the same Acacias. I wonder if the leaf beetle is a mimic. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/239...
