Stigmodera sanguinosa
This deeply pitted brown beetle comes from the little desert. The vibrant green colored pitting sparkles in the sun.
A single specimen feeding on tea tree on a very hot day.
Beetle found by Geoff. Of the seven members of Stigmodera genus, there are five that I have in the gallery. The remaining two are more scarce and very similar to this deep brown species.
