Eastern extension to ACT mapped habitat of this nationally threatened butterfly

User's notes

With team from Environment ACT. Side of track. Dry, steep hillside. This was the furthest east siting of PC on this survey. Plenty of good habitat here, we did not go below 900m due to time (finished 1445). Earlier in season and in morning may be more productive.
