Spring pink

September 1 is officially the beginning of our spring period here on the east coast of New South Wales, Australia - but this past three weeks has already seen an increase in invertebrate activity.

 

Glycyphana sp. flower beetle perhaps stolata or brunipes. I read that these two species are only separated by whether one has protrusions on the hind leg. Specimens from both species have been observed to have the same maculation on the elytra.

 

Body length 10 mm.
