Lilly Pilly Beetle
Hey guys,
This little guys here is a Lilly Pilly beetle from South Australia (Paropsides Calypso).
I’m hoping someone on here has some experience with them, this one showed me it’s wings today and to my surprise they are bright purple. Is this common? I’ve never seen anything like it.
What type of bee/wasp is this?
It seems to be interested on the steak leftovers, so I found it weird to be there, I thought they liked flowers? Lol. It was in London. It's zoomed in, it isn't too big.
Does this one sting? My husband is terrified of them and I told them they were harmless and I want to know if I lied or not.
