Another species of Notoncus - and good photos attending the scale. Thanks! This species seems to be more common than N. gilberti but there is another which is probably more common again - Notoncus ectatommoides, which is superficially very similar looking to N. capitatus, so keep an eye out for them too! Cheers, Jon
