@MarkH thanks. I can definitely collect some specimens, these were quite numerous and I found them in the same location last year, and breeding (Diphucrania sp. (genus) (Jewel Beetle))

@Harrisi could you maybe help with collection as I imagine you know the drill for this? Thanks 😊

I reckon micromyrtus is a good call

Leptospermum micromyrtus

This species is quite rugose and looks very similar to Diphucrania trimentula which I have recorded from the Sydney region. It is not possible to be 100% certain without looking at the specimen under a microscope.
I recommend a few specimens be collected and deposited into ANIC. It is also possible that this is a different genus to Diphucrania given it was found on a Dodoneae plant which is quite unusual.
It also looks similar to Aaaaba nodosus which is usually found on Rubra spp

oh noooo - I cut it. Over many years I monitored and treated Gorse which grew in this area; don't know what I was thinking :-(
