Interesting, it suggests there is a Diuris chryseopsis in the vicinity.

We had this puzzle before and were hunting for the golden moths in the vicinity; I think we found one. I can't see the distribution of the orchid/s and my memory is not as good as it was....

yes, Barb, that was the only golden myth that was found and only once despite searching for a couple of years.
