  1. It's weird about the Small A & S. It's the wrong habitat and there were no records until you saw them a few years ago. They were really abundant when I visited last year.

    P cingulata is always nice. Now you just need to find nigrata!

  2. Flushed around ten SA&S from the ground there George. I will have to try Ogmore down for P. nigrata.....
