Test comment, after complaint that it would not accept one from RogerF.

Comment by Roger Farrow by email: The marks on the hind femora and relatively small size <25mm suggest Austroicetes rather than Chortoicetes.

Roger also said: There's a hint of a red tibia suggestive of A. pusilla but we need more images from different angles. Ct is relatively rare in the ACT and is a non-breeding immigrant except in outbreak years.
