I'm glad you managed to find them and get a sample.
Thanks again for the IDs.
Hopefully I will see this species in a fresher state in the future.

I found them very quickly and, amongst the long grasses at that spot, they were very obligingly sitting in a soil scrape, so easily visible from a distance. Thanks for the first record of this from the ACT. In fact, all other records look to be north of Wollongong.
