Transcription Notes:
Checked on "Ichneumon confusorius" which is right for this name -- Michelle Marshall
@siobhanleachman - thank you so much for your wonderful help! I've edited to make it consistent with previous pages in this project and added information I know from doing previous pages. (I've been doing a lot on this project and you DO get more familiar with Stelfox's handwriting as you go along!) I check species names via eol.org but you can also use a spreadsheet I've put together here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_Zc6xt1giFN2mfBuByQ7kpkW1_nLCcFaO_bBm8zjEE/edit#gid=426229412 Hope this helps!
The section on the upper left in the box was very light and difficult for me to read. I was not sure how to annotate the box. Female symbol in notes is more like the Mercury symbol.
