Is this species more of a grassy woodland type species? This is the first record from Dryandra St and it was in a small area of somewhat native grasses. I haven't seen it in the more forested areas.

Yes, I have always associated it with grassy areas, Its pretty common in Yellow box - Red gum sites such as Red Hill. I've never seen it on Black mountain sandstone, a good find.
