Waiparuru Nature Trail, Grafton Gully/Symonds St Cemetery, Grafton, Auckland. Two live male beetles resting by day on the lower surface of different leaves on a mahoe tree, in a shaded native bush remnant. Although this is the first time that I have observed this species at this location, that is probably only because I have overlooked it until now.
Flew down and landed on the screen. I quickly searched for the species so it could be with its kin ;-)
