User's notes
Some more Jotus behaviour, although no bunched legs as seen in sighting 4389889. Male no.1 was somewhat hesitantly watching the female on the tree trunk, but suddenly leapt away, and I then noticed a second male behind his original position which appeared to be displaying to the female. The displaying male then flattened out into an unusual posture. Another female nearby didn't seem to be involved.
