User's notes
In an effort to map the populations around Hall, Anna and I set out into HHP1 & 2 - and we found lots of them - mostly associated with Chrysocephalon appiculatum. We found them even very close to the Barton Highway - outside the fence. And much to our surprise they are also just opposite Gibbs St - literally on our "backdoor". We found dark grey (not shown - but Anna has got the photo), green, grey and red ones. We have them in more than 10 spots - and I estimate that we have seen 100+ of these. The catch is to know where to look for. We will do HHP3 and along Hall creek next.
