Great Sighting. This looks like Calperum sp. that was found a few years back, at least I hope it is. Ive been keeping an eye out for one for over a year but havent managed to spot one yet. Was this seen in the same area as the others, or a new spot?

This was much smaller and much earlier in the year than the ones I have seen previously, so I'm assuming it is a nymph? And yes, it was in the same general area as the others.
