So...
here is an updated picture. I brought the highlights up so that you can kind of see the light-trick better.
In my opinion, this photo doesn't contribute much to the guide, so it can probably be frassed once you've seen it. It's up to you, though.

Good Photos
Even if we can't determine species with absolute certainty, the photos provide a good gouge for ID'ing Tenoderans and are thus worth keeping.

Oh good :)
At least you can use them. I hoped you could. As I stated previously, I really appreciated this specimen for being cooperative. :)
For some reason, whenever I get a cooperative specimen, I start liking the particular species/family more.
