Paropsis maculata
A gorgeous little beetle - about 1cm in length, with great colouring.
A whole family had settled in on a young eucalypt tree. They were all very obliging of my intrusion.

nice colour. :)
Great find Scott. I am still amazed at the variety of these we have in Oz. Looks like this one has a touch of the Qld maroon.
Hehe - yeah, he is gorgeous :)
I never seen a bug that looks so fancy-colored...nice shot ;)
