way longer than a manuka beetle and body is more segmented.....funny he was on track and we spotted him on way up..then relocated it on way back down 4 hours later...
You didn't have to take a picture of it on your tongue MD.:P
you shouldve gone to specsavers...thats my hairy leg LOL...
I know it's your leg lol. I would have said Hydraenidae but this beetle is much larger.
Got to be caused by global warming
Megadromus antarcticus or Alexander Beetle I found one a while back and that's what I came up withQuote:

If your wondering, yes I was brought up on A.A.Milne ...... Haha
Properly educated I'd say.
As kids we knew them as 'Rainbow Beetle'.
I like that better than poncy Latin names.
Looks like HUHU as they call it, is `t it?
nothing at all like a huhu.....Quote:
