I have only ever seen plain black, blue or brown flea leaf beetles before. This one ran down the leaf to the axil and only when reviewing the pictures I noticed the 'other' creature. No idea what it is but it's a strange shape. <br> Thanks martinl <br> https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:a…
