Field Notes

Description:

This is a South African species and was first recorded in Europe in the 1990's. It is thought to have arrived in a shipment of Pelargonium (geraniums) from South Africa.

Habitat:

Garden on limestone outcrop in foothills of Los Serranos mountains, they are on our geraniums which we bought from a garden centre, which probably imports them from South Africa..
