Chalcopteroides_sp.1_ This darkling beetle is found under bark, as darkling beetles usually are. The bright metallic elytra are typical of Chalcopteroides sp. but there are over 120 species in this genus and I will not guess which one this is. Having said that, it is possibly Chalcopteroides cyanopterous.<br /> Australia,Chalcopteroides,Geotagged,Winter Click/tap to enlarge
