Lovely find. I'm very glad to see them in this area. Ill be keeping my eyes out there in the future.
I've been searching for them at Crace grasslands but they have eluded me so far.

it has all its legs, so you were handling it carefully but it is a good idea to try not to handle as it can lose legs
