Mostly for identification of larvae. Photos 1 &4 show the beetle I raised to adulthood from a larvae collected on 14 November 2020. Other photos were taken today after releasing the beetle. All Applebox in the area have many beetles, totaling over 100 beetles. Photos 2 shows an adult and larvae together. I've updated sighting https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4201692 to confirm the adult beetle species (also taken in the same area).
