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. The bee then moved further west up the road and images were taken with the bee on another Crowea as shown in previous sighting 4206251, with the bee having a distinct tear in its right wing. This same bee with the torn wing was sighted 4 minutes later on Croweas at the top (western) end of the road as shown in this sighting, where the distinct wing tear is seen in the first image. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.
