User's notes

I'm going to say "alive, healthy" but all the males were very tatty and one even only had wings on one side but was still able to fly. The lone female was on the underside of bark on an old wattle tree very near some sap which it may have been feeding on. The males were here and there all up the track and not all together, though more were under the trees near the picnic tables.
