Many thanks for such a full ID Paul - they seem to be pretty common under a shady mixed forest's canopy.

That would be the correct habitat for this species.

Just knock it out for a while and it will behave. Just think the way extremely drunk people are when they are let out of the holding den after they slept it off: very nice to everone and waving. :P
