Correct on both counts Harvey. Have just had word back from a Buprestid expert who confirms one as C. sexplagiata and the other (larger) one as C. australasiae. I will post an individual pic/sighting for the latter presently. Have nine species for the ACT so far and counting !
thanks Michael(b). A few of the usual ingredients have gone into this success so far; lots of time, and patience, good mentoring, good research and an eye for spotting flowering natives. If I had children or a mortgage I would have trouble justifying this pursuit, but luckily i have neither and only working casually I have alot of free time! Most of all, i enjoy the challenge!
