From the article Zecicindela perhispida on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
The adult is recorded at 8.5 - 10.3mm in length. The head and thorax are greenish bronze. The abdomen is also greenish bronze with large yellow white markings that occupy most of the abdomen dorsally. Much of the body is covered in white hairs. The colouration of the abdomen helps the beetle camouflage on yellow sands.
Range & habitat
This species is only known from Auckland and Northland in New Zealand. The adults are known to occur November to February. They typically occur in coastal lowland areas on yellowish beach and dune sand.
