User's notes

A beetle in the shape of a ladybird type, but with black-brown longitudinal stripes rather than spots. A similar stripe borders the lower perimeter of the body, and there are some symmetrical markings on the plate covering the thorax (best seen in photo 1). Underlying all markings is a uniform orange colour. The eyes are black. The leaf it is on belongs to a Common Silkpod vine, (Parsonia Straminea) as featured at sighting 4640075.
