I think the location is a little off for this one. Suburban Narrabundah would be an interesting place to find them.

Corrected now. Telstra must have had a major hiccup.

I agree this looks most like C atrovespa. Do you happen to have a photo from the front showing the lateral sepals?

Sorry, no I don't: there was only one angle possible as the 'front' was facing an earth bank, plus the day was very windy.

Fair enough. I'll confirm as C atrovespa
