Just guessing this is a jewel beetle? On the upper flowers of bursaria, so photos minimal.

Not a jewel beetle, it’s a Cerambycid (longicorn beetle). I’ve forgotten it’s name however it’s quite widespread in SE Australia

Hi LisaH, does not have a 'common name' but I guess one could call it that! Cheers, Allen M. Sundholm.
