Fiddler beetle
The Fiddler beetle (Eupoecila australasiae) is a colourful green- or yellow-and-black member of the scarab beetle family from eastern Australia measuring from 1.5 to 2 cm (0.59 to 0.79 in) in length. These beetles are strong flyers and can fly without moving the elytra. They spend much of the time searching for nectar and plant exudates.Photo credit: Fir0002
