Beetle is a Chalcopteroides sp. The other object is an exuviae (empty pupal shell) of a moth, possibly Cossidae or Oecophoridae.

Interesting. This was taken on a Glen Cocking moth night and he told us that is was borer (not the beetle). Taken at night under torchlight.

Hi Michael, The sighting was actually meant to be for the borer, not the beetle.

I know Alison, but we can't ID the borer or moth. So do you want to delete it or reject it or accept the beetle?
