found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia. This beetle also known as
Pollen Beetles.

 - Body length 10mm
-
 
-
- We
saw this Beetle once in Yugarapul
Park on OCT 2007. It was examining the scale insects. We were not sure if the
beetle was interesting on the honey-dew produced by the Lerps
Insects or feeding on the Lerps Insects. Anyway,
Soft-winged Flower Beetles are known predator of soft body small insects.
-
 -
- It
flies away after we took those photos. It is a good flier although its wings
look short..
