Hi Marnix,
Are you implying that there is a seasonal pattern
to their occurrence in Canberra? It may be so but is that new information?
I have seen this species in Canberra. But sorry I am not sure what you mean by
"yet" (as in since when). Wilson's book and the COG Atlas are consistent with
that possibility but make no such suggestion. Although the GBS Report does not
include text for this species (there were only 20 records so it is only listed
in Appendix 1), I have just looked at the raw data. I sort of agree with your
implication in that the abundance certainly does appear to go up in summer.
However several autumn and mid winter observations are there too. Thanks for the
suggestion, I may include the species in the text in the next edition GBS Report
(as the current one is almost sold out).
