Looked just like a black beetle at a distance, larger than most leaf beetles, but up close it had orange sides and head. Not seen this one before. (or it just looked bigger because it was black?) Just seen this : https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4514469 didn't know the male was black! yay.
