Fantastic find Korinne - I will also put a call out for members of Red Hill Regenerators to look out for this Jewel Beetle.

Hi folks,

Joel's location ID is pretty good. We are in Foxground and our southern boundary is Barren Grounds Nature Reserve.

You might note that the spider is in a bottle at the time of the photo. That is because I needed it for ID purposes at Shoalhaven Hospital, having just been bitten by it on the end of my finger! Fortunately it was a "dry" bite which apparently is common with that species when it is more interested in protection instead of food. Nevertheless it was the most instantaneous painful bite I have ever had including bull ants etc.

The full saga ended after an ambulance trip to the hospital where the staff were magnificent and 5 hours of observation showed no envenomation.

The staff called the spider "Clancy", looked after him very well after the ID. We brought Clancy back to our property and left him in the forest near to where it was found. I was bitten when I was cutting up a thin dead eucalypt for firewood and was not wearing gloves!

This specimen looked close to death when I saw it - it allowed me to pick it up on the leaf. I've checked this morning, and there's no sign of anything there. None of the eucalypts close to it look like they are currently in flower. I will have some more checks over the next few days around the area, but only likely to find something if it's on the ground. I also don't have my camera to try and see whether there's anything higher up in the trees, unfortunately.

After further discussion with entom2 and looking at a photograph of the unique type of Castiarina xystra which was described from a single specimen from Black Mountain in March 1931 I am comfortable that this sighting represents that species.
This species is very closely allied with Castiarina militaris and they may prove to be conspecific however this assessment can only occur with a collected specimen so, if possible, the specimen needs to be lodged at the Australian National Insect Collection if it is available.
