    Wonderful. I think the collage pretty much sums up you. To take that level of care into identifying such a tiny subject is just fantastic, I deeply respect it. Posted 5 years ago

      Thanks Ferdy. This one was a bit of pain with members of several genera or even families resembling closely. Also, more or less lucky that I had some of the most important keying characters somewhat recognizable in some of the "not so well focused" shots. Posted 5 years ago
