Genus EusandalumObserver
jackstabekDescription
It seemed to have a unique 'jumping' movement as when observed in the net it was jumping or moving quickly around, rather than flying about.
When initially placed on the point mount, the specimens' head (and antennae) and rear appeared to be bent or folded up above its main body, however was relatively easy to maneuver into a more natural position.
