Nascio vestusa

Nascio vetusta (Boisduval, 1835) is a Buprestid beetle (Buprestidae) in the endemic Australian genus Nascio. The larvae are known to feed oligophagous on Eucalyptus and Metrosideros (Myrtaceae), with Eucalyptus being the original host and the introduced Metrosideros must represent a recent host selection, mostly in the urban environment.
