Thanks Matt - this and a few others of your photos have been the first time the species has been reported within canberra nature Map and it really helps to build up the comprehensiveness of our on line library.

Thanks for the feedback Michael, it is very rewarding to get some first photos for CNM and to help build up the on line library. Very worthwhile project, just love it.
