Peltoschema jucunda

Thanks Daniele. It is another favourite group of mine and endemic to Perth. I will go back over there to hopefully find more but I think they are all only green and hiding in foliage rather than mimicking beetles in this case.

Thanks Mark Thanks maplemoth

Good theory, Mark. Some Calomela such as testacea can be green or orange , depending, probably on age. Larvae of Acacia feeding Peltoschemas are yellow if eating pollen and green if eating foliage. I know of no examples in adult Peltoschema but with a sample size of only one - maybe.
