Nice find, Stu. I wouldn't have expected to see it here. But you seem to be the anointed Banksia beetle whisperer!

Ironically Roger, I have been actively looking for the buprestid Temognatha goryi for some years now, with no luck. It shares similar shape and colouration of it's elytra. Do you think ANIC would want a specimen? If not, I am passing through same area on Tues and will return it....
