User's notes

A new one for me. At less than 5mm, the smallest beetle I've found on a Eucalypt. I have found small beetles on Acacia but not Eucalypt. If there had been only one and an Acacia nearby, I would have considered an Acacia leaf beetle.

Nice shots, Alison. It's a eumolpine leaf beetle, maybe an Edusella but possibly something else.
