I thought it might have been a lady beetle but now thinking probably a leaf beetle...

Based on a few sites. I didn't add the new species as I wasn't sure if the Conservation level should be Local Native or Non-local Native. ALA distribution doesn't show it as local. https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:a4acb3ec-8c71-4444-af3d-98f200825b4e
