That's quite a difference in color for the adults between this and the bronze one! Posted 5 years ago

  Yes, this species is really quite variable in colour. This is a bit of an inbetweeny but they also come in brighter green and blue, to almost blackish. I don't seem to have good images of all colours so should make a note to get these at some point :o) Posted 5 years ago

      I think the "purple" ones are inbetweenies for blue and the "bronze" ;o) Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

        Ahw, that's probably just my mediocre command of the English language at work there ;o) Posted 5 years ago

        Well, it's a great word and I'm going to start using it. Posted 5 years ago
