Heide amiculi due to location. First sighting where coexisting with Keyacris scurra. Confirms importance of Travelling Stock Reserves and their remnant native vegetation for the conservation of not just threatened species but all native fauna & flora.

Done. There is a record from Scotts Nature Reserve nearby. When Youning at CSIRO returns from leave I will try and see the ANIC records (not available electronically yet). Not sure if Ken Key has archived them somewhere with his paper on Heide.

NB This one is misssing a hind leg. There were quite a few skinks around!
