User's notes
A fairly common dark metallic green beetle, though not so common locally as I remember it from 30-odd years ago. Someone suggested these were Christmas beetles. Whilst they have a metallic sheen, its the less common than the fawn one with brown speckled indentations and a green metallic sheen over it all.

I’m Undoing my Genus-level Verification of Repsimus sp. so a Beetle moderator can see my Species-level Suggestion of Repsimus aeneus in the Unverified listing😊
