Finally got more than a fleeting glimpse of one of them darting around in the Indo-Malaya Pavilion.

I've only barely seen one of these guys before. I always look out for them, but never see them.

loose specimens in heated building are excellent biocontrol of pests and vermin; they bark when they are cornered, bite and draw blood from personal experience.

Thank you for that - now that I have had a good look at one I will have to listen for this:

I've never seen these guys once... it's so hard to find them...

That was three years ago but since then I have got used to what they look and sound like and have found them a few times, although their hangouts and colouring don't lend themselves to photos.
