Anyways, here are today's pics of what locals call a Christmas beetle as they are around at christmas time. There are 35 types of christmas beetle in australia, I suspect though that this isn't in fact one of them, even though ALL the locals call it one !
Confused ? so am I but I'm hoping to get to the bottom of it and actually find the scientific name of it.
I believe it to be a flower chafer of the Ischiopsopha family
As I put on my FB page, "if however you have no interest in the semantics, LOOK, PRETTY BEETLE, SHINY SHINY BEETLE !"
