Thanks for the sighting @Jek , this is the first I've seen on NatureMapr outside of the CNM region (or outside ANBG for that matter!)

@YumiCallaway it wasn't a species that I'd encountered juveniles of before, so wanted to be on teh safe side. I am giggling slightly looking back at my 'younger' self with wanting to post also because I was happy with teh photos. Thanks for IDing!

Just going through this collection of your sightings @KorinneM ! They are indeed the same species, and can be put under one sighting next time if it so suits, as accurate abundance data can be valuable too. Love your enthusiasm and the photos are superb! :)

Will take a closer look at this one, looks like a subadult male M. griseus which is the updated name for Hypoblemum albovittatum. Great work researching @KerriLee and thanks @RossMannell for the sighting!
