Interestingly we only ever see these in mud wasp nests so the colouration may be working really well ... to our eyes at least. And actually this one has a wasp larva on it as well. And no we don't break the wasp nests deliberately but if they make a nest in the doorway or window then it gets broken when we open the door.

The colouration appears to mimic lichen which is very cool to see!

The size of this beetle is around 12-15mm so the size in the observation is incorrect. Thanks

I think the head pattern is different from that at the LBH webpage, and there is no sign of the small dark ellipse on the side of the meta-thorax of David's specimen, but these differences could be instar-dependent.
