User's notes

The second sighting today of a lone female at ANBG Section 55. 8900811.7 Callistachys lanceolata. These are poor quality images which were taken with a telephoto lens of the bee moving around quickly at high level. They are provided to add to the distribution record of this endangered species. Thanks to Marcus and Barbara Leach for the initial sighting.
