User's notes
Location was approximately 100 m down from the gate. About equal distance to the first bend from the gate further down the road. I made a crude arrow on the road pointing to it, in the embankment below trees as pictured.

Unable to determine Species-level ID without a clear side-view of the head & thorax, so I will need to move this back to Genus-level.
