Transcription Notes:
Thank you, Stelfox, for taking the time to write out Ardnagashel carefully, or else I may never have gotten that one. ;) Kidding aside - transcribed, & checked species names that I didn't recognize. Sorry for the tangle of brackets after Halictus rubicundus - if you have an idea to clean that up feel free!! - GigglePop
