@MichaelMulvaney wondering if would you be able to assist with the setup & verification of this one, suggesting it is a Staghorn Fern Window Spot Leaf Beetle (Halticorcus platycerii). Alison has started the process for me but I’m not comfortable completing the setup without someone with more experience looking into it first. Thanks so much😊
