I'd like to point out that the survey in 2013 (and another in 2018) of the ACT and surrounding areas was a Bush Blitz (https://bushblitz.org.au/) not a Bioblitz (https://citizenscience.org.au/the-australian-bioblitz-hub/)

OK, thanks, I quoted directly from the ALA record online which says: 'ACT Bioblitz Moth Survey'. Date recorded 26/10/13.

Thanks and apologies, looks like Glen must have done a Bioblitz in October that year, then participated in a Bush Blitz in December!?
