User's notes
Two this size and one much smaller. At first thought it was a Fiddler beetle (also present nearby) but realised the marking are quite different. Couldn't find this on CNM or ALA.

Roger, I think this is actually Chlorobapta frontalis according to web site https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2015/01/20/scarab-beetle-australia-chlorobapta-frontalis/ E. scripta has different markings

A good find. This species is widely distributed and common in some coastal regions, but quite rare in this district.
