Hi Harrisi, was this record from the ACT? If so, are you able to provide a rough location? Looks like it might be the threatened Key's Matchstick Grasshopper, but I'll wait for a relevant moderator to confirm. Cheers

Hi Alex,
I did put a pin on its location but maybe as it is threatened there is an auto suppress location mechanism. Yes it was in the ACT, just. Certainly not threatened in that neck of the woods as we counted more than 10 in an hour or so?!

Known location. No suppression of location necessary
