If I am correct, this is a significant find as they have only been reported on ALA in Far North Queensland. The sighting doesn't yet include a map. Where was this located? Could you also please include size.

Excellent sighting, & Hi Alison. I think you couldn't see the location because Safarigirl didn't select beetles, just insects. I've edited the sighting to move it into beetles so you should see the location now.

Thanks Michael. I guessed that was the reason but I didn't want to confirm as an unidentified beetle. My identification is based on p101 of A Guide to Beetles of Australia by George Hangay and Paul Zborowski.
