Comment:   Really nice record. we were in exactly this area on 15/12/2014 and didn't see any - we were looking for them because we are concerned about what effect the great fire of 2010 had had on insect populations in that unique area. P. luteus is a fynbos specialist and a western cape endemic. nice to know that the Boesmanskloof/Galgeberg population survived!! thanx!
