Only seen twice in seven years and once in the garden, moving too quick for a decent shot, then trapped against the window in the laundry. And away it went.

Found in Eprapah, this fellow was feeding undisturbed on the same fresh shoot for nearly a week. As one feeding place was used up he would move up the stem and the shoot died behind him for lack of sustenance.P1470246
