Paropsis charybdis
A large paropsid leaf beetle about 14mm long. Very dull colours - I thought it was a lump of mud at first. Some angular shapes and 'shoulders' to it's profile. It was very still and unresponsive unlike some of this group.
On a large eucy of unknown species in a local nature reserve.
Variable patterns
