On a morning walk, I noticed what I thought was mould or markings on one of the Dept of Immigration buildings (College St side, the older ones). Turned out though it was a colony of bugs!
I went back this morning to take a couple of photos – does anyone know what these are? Google gave no joy. Thanks!

Maybe that’s not their official name but it’s what everyone was calling them Green on the side orange on the inside like the pumpkins that grow in Canberra
I’ve seen those but never in such numbers!

They are dinner
Linux beetles. Clumpy and self-obsessed.

They are not pumpkin beetles.
Pumpkin beetles. I remember hunting for them at recess in primary school. 🙂
Hope they have visa’s….

Any Defence sex scandals to report about these soldiers?
They are plague soldier beetles.
