User's notes
Unusally coloured Keyacris, at least first I have seen this colour. 15-17mm.
The GPS is a few metres out, this specimen was found just inside the entry gate to Mulligans flat on the track to the woolshed, between the track and the fence in a patch of kangaroo grass about 20-30m from the gate. This one was with other keyacris (see https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4379054 ) but I have listed this one as a separate sighting because of the colouring.
