General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
We haven't been able to separate genders out, both looking the same.
These are highly variable in shade & colour, from VERY pale grey (but not worn), through darker browns, to having a touch of orange patching on some.
We've seen them during the day, walking around Ellura, as well as night lights.

This species is

Australian Native Species, not listed in the SA Murray Mallee Survey of 2010.
