Thank you. I’m very pleased. It did cross my mind it could be the narrow one. This is even better than sighting Plantago varia a week or two ago. Both firsts for me.
Plantago gaudichaudii

It’s a little hard to identify without seeing all of the pattern however it’s either Castiarina livida or Castiarina flavopicta.
I think livida is most likely from the date (flavopicta is usually later), colour (usually a greenish tinge to the background colour in flavopicta rather than blue), the flowers the beetle is on are normally associated with livida, and the part of the pattern that is visible is more likely to be livida.

Handy hint for the future: all Banjo Frogs have a diagnostic blister like gland on the hind leg which rules out everything else straight away. Front on images such as these are not as helpful to see that gland although they do not appear to be present here. Have a look at some of the dumerilli images in Nature Map and you will see what I mean.
Cheers JohnW
