User's notes

Over 200 old cases on several Grevillea bushes, however, there were also hundreds of very tiny cases that looked fresh and possibly 'occupied'.Will need to go back late Summer when they have had a chance to grow larger.

Not decorated enough for Hyalarcta huebneri, and too decorated for Metura elongatus.
