Hi Tim, noticed your sighting 4229732 is also facing upwards. They seem to have slightly different markings though. I checked your tree near red centre garden yesterday, last time I found three on it, but yesterday could only find one. Seems that they move around a bit even though pretty still when we see them.

Hi Christine, two of the three were still in residence this morning. The one you found is still there, plus the very first one we found several months ago is still in the same spot.
