thank you @HaukeKoch for confirming the species - would you like me to post this on the christmas beetle count site as well?

I think it's fine just having it here, both Canberra Nature Map and iNaturalist (where we have our main Christmas Beetle project) feed into databases like ALA and GBIF, where your record may be used for research. Thanks for sharing it!
