Field Notes
Description:
This little hand-sucker beetle had dark metallic elytra with slight tints of aqua, reddish legs and mouth parts, and was about 22mm long.
Habitat:
It fell from the branches of a pomaderris in a nature reserve incorporating stringybark, acacias, pomaderris, pittosporum, assorted woody shrubs and grasses.
Notes:
I couldn't convince it to open it's wings so the abdomen colour is unknown. <br> family: OEDEMERIDAE <br>
subfamily: OEDEMERINAE <br>
