Pittosporum Beetle. In the sun, the beetle was a beautiful metallic bronze with the smaller indentations shining green, depending on the direction of the light.

Hi Jackie. Yes, these were the ones from Lake Curalo. Pupation period for the two caterpillars was roughly 2.5 weeks though the second one is still to turn into a beetle but suspect that will happen within the next day or two.
