Great sighting, not sure if we have a record of an adult flying in the ACT for the month of May, perhaps Suzi can comment on that. Very jealous, I was at the ANBG just a few hours after your sighting but wasn't fortunate enough to see this one. This is only the third sighting for CNM.

Hi Tim, fantastic sighting! This is the first record for the ACT for May for this species, so it's a great record, thanks.

Thanks Suzi. I hope others can get to see and enjoy the Glasswing whilst it's around. Tim
