User's notes

This bee was initially sighted very briefly on Croweas at the eastern (lower) end of the road adjacent to ANBG Section 46. These images were taken when the bee moved further west up the road to another Crowea. The first image shows a significant tear in the right wing. This same bee with the torn wing was sighted 4 minutes later on Croweas at the top (western) end of the road. See following sighting 4206254. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.
