Odochilus convexus Nomura, 1971

Alive, with some feistiness left in it, but definitely not in full health. After the close approach for photos initially, it managed to evade capture, so I did not manage to take it to Wildbase.

Dead on beach, about 1.5 m in length

Native Podocarp-broadleaved bush, at night. Under rotten log.

Larva about 30mm in length, found under rock in suburban park area, most likely from Mecodema brittoni, a local endemic species from a very large and widespread genus.
