Transcription Notes:
Used my spreadsheet to double check species names - see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_Zc6xt1giFN2mfBuByQ7kpkW1_nLCcFaO_bBm8zjEE/edit?usp=sharing
Unsure of Glypta [[cranescus?]] -@siobhanleachman
Checked bee species names I transcribed on right page against your list, thanks Siobhan! Very handy! :D Checked ant species against: https://nbnatlas.org. - GigglePop
Thanks Giggles - great job as usual. Added the "cont" at the top of the second page to the date as I believe that's where Stelfox intended to insert it. I've solved some [[?]] and corrected some minor typos. -@siobhanleachman
