We may have to review Rhipicera (Agathorhipis) femorata sightings. Rhipicera (Agathorhipis) genus & subgenus are very similar.

Thankyou @AlisonMilton, that means a lot😊I’m not an expert either, I’ve just been assisting with insect ID’s in Facebook groups over the years and was approached to start on NatureMapr as a Mod (but have never used this platform until now). I’ve got open access to all insect categories because I’m familiar with bits & bobs in each from helping in the Facebook groups. So I guess jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none😂🙃Very keen to learn if you see anything isn’t right but I think I might just do Suggestions until I feel a bit more settled🌺

@DiBickers Ditto to Matthew's comment. When I was first approached to moderate for beetles I was a bit stunned that someone thought I knew enough. However, I have learned so much not only about beetles but many other species, though particulary insects and now moderate for five categories. You'll get there. There are enough of us out here to mentor your decisions and don't worry if you do it them wrong. I still get things wrong.
