Thanks KD, Coffs sure does have some interesting habitat.
What a glorious creature! Stumble on it! We should all be so lucky MacC! Coffs is a little melting pot of interesting specimens.
Thanks Neil, was lucky enough to stumble upon this one today.
Excellent find, Mac. This fellow is absolutely gorgeous! I'll put this on my bucket list of 'must see' critters. Beautiful photography too.
