Checkered Beetle (Eleale fasciata)
Eleale fasciata W.J. Macleay, 1872. Thanks to Justin Bartlett for providing the determination in comments below. Found at Tregole National Park. Queensland, Australia.
This beauty was found in relatively early morning sitting stationary on the branch of a shrub. I think it probably 'slept' there overnight.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
