User's notes

Private property. No public access without permission. Sorry for lack of detail in photos. The sawfly flew away as I was getting in position! Note that the number of teeth in the comb on the antennae is the same as sighting: https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/4204086
