Guys
We have today been swamped with load of these little beetles. They look like they may be members of the Cantharidae family, and even possibly a Chauliognathus spp., but I can't pin down any closer than that. Any ideas?
These were in SW Queensland, Australia, some 200km inland from the coast.
Thanks
Fof
