Didymocantha obliqua is a species of Longhorn Beetle, also known as Longicorn Beetle that is native to Australia.
Didymocantha obliqua was my first thought but the elytral markings are much more vague and indistinct than I have seen on other individuals. Additionally, the darkened 3rd antennal segment seems to be not quite right for D. obliqua.
Usually pattern being more vague is a matter of wear and tear (more attributable to a specimen’s age than its species), but agree the dark antennomere III, is a bit unusual for D. obliqua.
