Already recorded from this very spot by myself when I was lucky to get a lift to the summit with DCCEW!!

Differs from Ks by large number of antenna segments and more rugose appearance

Thanks Roger, I really appreciate the correct identification and the information on the difference with Key's, that's very useful. What a fantastic place the summit of Mount Budawang is.

It also has an endemic wallaby grass, Plinthanthesis rodwayi also found on the summit of nearby Mt Currockbilly - a challenging walk.
