Turquoise Longhorn (Prosopocera lactator)

Family Cerambycidae
This is another beetle I have been looking for and was pleased to eventually find it.
They lay their eggs in the stems of the Buffalo Thorn.
 It is about 2.5cm in length and is a light peppermint green and brown in colour with turquoise leg markings.
