Wonderful iridescent green 'lady beetle' to ID (Coccinellidae – i think! Not a leaf beatle Chrysomelidae?).
– please help with the beetle ID in the subsequent sighting of this same individual beetle with some more close up photographs.
Walking around on a healthy forest lower–storey growing _Pseuduvaria froggattii_ tree, well established woody, beyond sapling stage but not fully grown, foliage, habit, leaves closer–up ( https://naturemapr.org/sightings/4698543 ) .
Mossman Gorge, long circuit track side, just before large diagonal prominent strangler fig near this track.
