Peltoschema sp.
A small leaf beetle which mimics a common ladybird beetle. This bright insect is similar to P. oceanica. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/123... I found oceanica in Melbourne but this beetle was found by a friend in Brisbane, The markings are significantly different and we expect they are different species.
On Acacia in Brisbane
(Found by Trevor.) This will be hard to separate from Peltoschema oceanica without some expert advice.
