What are the differences between Caladenia parva and C. astrovespa that I should try to photograph (camera permitting)? Both seem to be recorded in this area.

C. parva is often a little smaller than C. atrovespa and generally has more pronounced clubs on the sepals and lateral sepal. There is a bit of overlap in these features so we use them as a rough guide. Otherwise C. parva is more common in Namadgi and C. atrovespa more common in our urban reserves. If you get a photo of the pollinator then Tobias will be able to provide an ID as each species has a different pollinator.
