stunning.

the dark abdominal markings a
the dark abdominal markings are actually dark metallic blue-purple...

 
great shot
It really shows the humeral horns that are diagnostic of this species. May the insects gods smile on you and allow for more specimens!

 
Wow!!
Those humeral horns are totally bizarre!! Are there any other Ocnaea that have anything even beginning to approach such humeral projections?

 
No,
they're unique to this species.
