According to iNaturalist, this is a specimen of ***Catacanthus punctus***. And according to what I can find out, it is a type of Shield Bug. Visitor to our campsite in Cooktown, Far North Queensland. Absolutely incredible colours. Went on its way unharmed, after kindly hanging around to be photographed.
Photo taken with Pixel 10 Pro. Cropped slightly, but not enhanced. #insects #nature #photography #wildlife #bugs #australia #macro #invertebrates -
