@SteveBorkowskis thank you! I couldn't get the name to populate in the app, and the website was down. Greatly appreciated.

It says in the description of Red Passion Flower that it is not native to the ACT. This is not true. It has been recorded in the Booroomba Rocks area on several occasions growing in granite crevices. This has been extensively discussed on CNM and the decision was that it was native here. On Black M ountain it appears to be an escapee. The location of the weevil and host plant does not come up on the current sighting.
The description of RPP needs amending to reflect its localised native status

I forgot to add that it would be worth checking plants in the ACT for this weevil

I see the single earlier record of this weevil was attracted to UV light so may be a good disperser

Made edits to species notes. Location is hidden until a species is confirmed so that the location of a sensitive species is not inadvertently disclosed.
