User's notes

I have entered a moth as 'flown away without being photographed' when it was actually a casemoth feeding on a sticky everlasting flower and I was able to photograph it. It was the fifth pollinator photographed so no space for it in the images panel. The butterfly that flew away without being photographed on a flower was the same species as above but a different individual. Going by the underparts, it was a Fringed Heath Blue. Plants in flower this survey: Sticky everlasting, Shiny Cassinnia, Bluebell and Goodenia hederacea. The butterfly that flew away was on a Goodenia hederacea.
