Yes, this is a good find, only the second Canberra Nature Map sighting of the Green shield-backed bug.

Just checking if the location is correct for this one @ConBoekel as it is showing as being on Barry Drive and hence not in the Dryandra St Woodland?

Hi Matthew
Often a bit of a problem for records at or near the road side.
They were on an acacia which is rooted in DSW just down the road embankment but which has branches partially overhanging the road barrier.

If you want I can adjust the location slightly to bring it inside DSW.
