Hmm, I don't recall seeing this one previously; definitely a euophryine and not S. villosa. Probably an undescribed sp. but good luck in finding a willing arachnotaxonomist these days!

Hi @AlisonMilton , Happy New Year and thanks for this ID! I've just recently been trying to get a handle on the distinctions between the 'Small Grass Yellow (E. smilax), and the 'Large Grass Yellow' (E hecabe), so I'd be particularly interested in your thoughts. Cheers, MazzV

What can one say, finally one has turned up. one way to prove it was born and bred in the area rather than some escapee would be by stable isotope sampling. For that, samples would be required from the animal. Based on the Cuppacumbalong records it seems possible and most likely to be a local resident, a sentiment I am happy to support!

Hi @JoePettroni
Looks like he is missing a portion of his tail? There is a surprising concentration of records of Rosenberg's Goannas (aka Heath Monitors) near that location. We can recognise individuals by their left face and right face if the photo is sharp enough. More information here https://www.npaact.org.au/goanna-project

Hi Michael and everyone. Many many thnks for alerting me. The location of this sighting is well away from roads open to the public and about 10 km from the nearest suburb.

I have waited years to see this. Matt Higgins has read the deSalis Diaries from Cuppacumbalong and told me that they recorded killing a lot of this species. (Some were the coastal Diamond Python colour form like this one and others were the Murray or Inland Carpet Python colour form). I always wondered if there were pythons surviving from that era (they are astonishigly cryptic animals) and hoped that at some stage wild ones would begin showing up. Interestingly this sighting was only about 5 kilometres from Cuppacumbalong HS. @wombey
