Hi Trevor, this is a shield bug, not a beetle. @trevsci

Thanks for that Alison, one of those errors I make when Im putting in lots of sightings.
I actually think its a freshly moulted immature Amorbus alternatus.

Hi Trevor, I think this actually belongs in Amorbus sp. (genus). There is only one sighting for Amorbus alternatus and it seems to have more distinct patterning. Regards
