Ancita crocogaster
Small (25mm) dark grey longicorn beetle with ridges and white specks on the elytra and white edges and spines on its thorax.
Three specimens found on Acacia were very timid and dropped to the ground quickly.

nice elytra..
What a little brute but I love its colouring - very dapper. These longicorns come in amazing shapes and sizes.
Nice photos martin.
