@LisaH happy to help, any knowledge I impart was learned from someone else. That’s what’s fabulous about ID’ing, no one person gets it right 100% of the time & we are all constantly learning from one another💚

@entom2 Morning Allen, any chance would you mind having a look at this one for me please? I thought it was Rhytiphora albocincta, but according to iNat the taxon is now Rhytiphora collaris?
I’ve tentatively left both names in (but wrote “formerly” next to Rhytiphora albocincta), but I’m not in the know with revisions & thought you might be able to confirm this is correct for me (or point me in the right direction on how to find out). Hoping you can help, thanks so much💚

Calomela juncta is certainly the closest fit at this point in time. There is the possibility however, that given the subtleties between species within this group, the unusual splattering of colouration between the coloured lines and the midline of the elytra could indicate this is actually a different species again. I suppose we’ll find out down the track and can amend the identification if required😊
