12090	3942	31/7/2014	0	from the well-known colony on the Luakera Stream in Chitunta Plain, Mwinilunga. You might have some pictures from Callan Cohenet al which would logically be from the same few bushes as the only known breeding location in Zambia. In the habitat picture, you see the green bushes in the centre, above the stream, where they breed.
