Credit to Josh who found and photographed this species at this spot in 30/9/2022. Recently uploaded to Bionet NSW and Inaturalist. Wendy and I searched whole area unsuccessfully on 12/8/24. Returned today searching from 10am and found 3 located and then another 3 nearby at 3pm. Still there an hour later when Josh got there.
