Field Notes

Description:

Black and orange beetle about 6mm long.

Notes:

Looks very similar to the Red and Blue beetle (Dicranolaius bellulus) but I'm not convinced: http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_beetles/RedAndBlueBeetle.htm

Species ID Suggestions

Red & Blue Beetle also known as Pollen beetle. :)
