Penthicodes farinosa aeruginea, Heesch, Netherlands This is a purchased specimen. I wasn't in the market for any specimens (never bought one before), yet the shop where I was buying some entomology needles had a small selection of cheap specimens, so figured to try it out. This one already came dried and spread. In the wild, you're unlikely to see it like this. It will usually have its winged closed at rest, and its eyes would be much more vivid compared to this dead specimen. This is a lateral 1:1 macro shot.
