Notes

In 2018 I only saw one adult on the wing at Robin Falls and none at Marrakai Road, though there were a couple of larvae at the latter site. Fortunately I was able to see several adults flying near Marrakai Road in April 2024, one of which posed very nicely (and a couple more posed not quite so nicely).
