User's notes

Initially I thought this may be P. pictipennis as there is a lot of Kunzia nearby, but the extended pale and dark lines don’t really match it

@SimoneC Hi Simone, There is no photo. This happens sometimes. Even when I know I added a photo it doesn't get uploaded. Could you please add the photo again. Thanks.
