I have reported the sighting to DPE Threatned Species Unit. Could you supply habiata details if possible Alison, Thanks Roger

Thanks Roger. We found them in two locations. This sighting is from the second. The area was low grassland with a number of sundew plants present (given all the recent rain). This was on private property at Wamboin (a Field Nats trip) and at about the highest altitude for the property (approx. 700 metres).
