Tortoise leaf beetle

Description:

A nice light variation of this variable beetle. This is the first time spotting of this species for me :)

Habitat:

On a eucalyptus leaf (stringybark) in a nature reserve.

Notes:

Please note the first image in the eol site is incorrectly named Paropsis chabdis. I believe it is Paropsisterna m-fuscum or Trachymela sp. http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Parops... http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Paropsis+c...
