User's notes

I'm inclined to suggest Paropsisterna m-fusca however, it looks a little different and I've never seen them on anything other than Apple box

P. m-fusca is variable. I'll call it that for now, pending further investigation. Other sightings at https://canberra.naturemapr.org/species/23235 resemble this one.
