Spotted Flower Chafer - Neorrhina punctatum (Polystigmapunctatum)
I found this pretty beetle inside at work, in Highfields. I’d not seen this one before, so had to photograph it for an I.d. Luckily I can always count on the fabulous Brisbane Insects website to narrow down an identification for me! This beautiful beetle is appropriately named a Spotted Flower Chafer. These beautiful yellow and black insects are often mistaken for bees, as they mimic them and wasps when hovering over flowers.
