I've added a better photo.
That camera occasionally surprises me...
Wow well done!! Now a very worthwhile addition to the collection.
Nice hunting!
Thanks Mark.
Hey, I found its name!!! I've located the one and only image of this species online, even though we found three yesterday and one a couple of years ago.
