User's notes

The pair in image one was on a Wollemi Pine in the garden, whereas the females in images 2 & 3 were on an unknown shrub. The females could move swiftly along a firm surface but were ungainly when crossing between leaves (image 2). I saw a few falls into a leafy abyss! Image 3 was taken about 3 hours after the other 2 images.
