This one may look similar to Orcus australasiae, but it’s actually a Leaf Beetle not a Ladybird Beetle. It appears to have two rows of four spots but It’s difficult for me to see enough detail in this one photo to verify whether it’s Paropsisterna octosignata, or the mimic Paropsisterna nigerrima, so I’ll have to put it through at Genus-level😊
