User's notes

Dragonflies are a common sight in the Dryandra Street Woodland but I don't know the species so have put '1' in the abundance column. Although I have checked I have seen no sign of larval cases. This individual allowed a remarkably close approach for dorsal images but was very intolerant of an approach from side on.
