Cass Bay, Lyttelton, New Zealand (Google, OSM)

Description

We have banded kokopu further downstream in our stream but these look different and are much darker in colour. There are literally about 50 to 80 of them in a tiny pool. Are they still kokopu? About 2cm to 4cm long...been there about 2 months or so. I'm curious.
