What would you like to see?
What area would you like me to shoot?

for Augochlora vs. Augochlorella useful characters are:
1. the clypeus

2. the apex of the marginal cell

3. the tegula (to rule out Augochloropsis)

species ID of Augochlorella is very difficult. Propodeal sculpturing is important.

So you need more shots?
Looks like a full on face shot is one of the things, but where are those other 3 located? My insect anatomy is still pretty basic. Thanks!

Upon examining the specimen, I can't get photos of any of those areas :-(
