This is a female of Temognatha limbata. I note it was photographed on 10th May 2022. This is a very unusual late date for an adult of this species to be around, which would normally only be emerged as adults in December-January. Yes, likely to have fallen down from a Eucalypt, where it was possibly ovipositing. Cheers, Allen M. Sundholm.
