@tpreston Hi Trevor - A slip of the finger? Could you please put this under Leaf beetles. Seems I can't do that unless I specify the species, of which I am not yet sure. Thanks Alison

This Paropsisterna may be teneral, with the colour of the pronotum and elytra not fully developed, which may make it harder to identify. It may be decolorata, detrita, laesa or m-fuscum.
