Thanks @Curiosity for your curiosity! Good to also have this resolved. I have another previous sighting (Tenodera australasiae) at this site yet to be resolved - interestingly Carbon AI has suggested Tenodera australasiae! Unfortunately the resolution of my pics is pretty crappy - they were cropped from my pics of the plant (Blue Devil) that was my focus at the time i.e. it was something that I noticed only when prepping the Blue Devil sighting for upload to CNM.
