  2. • Martin Lagerwey  Yes, certainly a most gnarled beetle. Love those shoulder pads.

  3. Martin Lagerwey  This beetle is Trachymela papuligera based on comparison with other tracymela in the museum collection.

  5. Chris Lindorff  Hi Martin. I have now added this species name to the NS database for you to assign.

  7. Martin Lagerwey  Thank you Chris. I've seen this since, in Sydney. Its the most easily recognizable representative of the whole genus. The museum has several specimens so it is feasible to encounter these beetles again.

  This female has laid eggs on her coccoon. The caterpillars will hatch and eat the coccoon first and then either stay on the plant that the female made her coccoon on if it is to their taste, or try thier luck and balloon to wherever the wind takes them. The female dies shortly after laying her eggs. We had masses of these caterpillars feeding on the Indigofera australis in our front yard during 2014 and 2015.

  Advised that the features are a better match for the Collared Sparrowhawk - tail notch and longer middle toe!
