Hi Mike, you are probably right about the species, but I'm getting more careful about the IDs unless there is very good evidence of the species one way or the other. Cheers, Jon

I should have left it as Papyrius sp. since I couldn't get my camera to take a sharp photo, but I went by the species identified 10-20 metres away (before you decided there could be other species).
