are you sure this is the same specimen
as the two older pictures? the abdomen is a different shape and this looks like it has a long ovipositor which is absent on the other two pictures.

not sure

Thanks for the additions.
The side shot is particularly choice. It'd be a good idea to separate the two posts, especially since the subjects look quite a bit different. For how to info, click the Help tab.
