Eupoecila evanescens, commonly known as the orange spot beetle is a member of the scarab beetle family from north-eastern Australia,[2] belonging to genus Eupoecila.[3]
Characteristics
The body of the beetle is black with numerous irregular orange spots, giving the species its characteristic name of orange spot beetle.[2] Male orange spot beetles are slightly larger than the female orange spot beetles. Little is known about their mating behaviours. The abdomen of a mature beetle is 1 cm long.[2]
Habitat
Orange spot beetles are mostly confined to two remote regions of north-eastern Australia.[4]
