User's notes

This colourful beetle was on a geranium bush. A mix of tan and black-brown on its surface, with an intriguing motif of almost hi-viz yellow-green! Upper legs are reddy-tan like the centre of the back surface, lower legs are black-brown. Possibly a native Fiddler beetle (Eupoecila Sp)?
