Another very dark early instar
reminds us of antiqua, but so young it's hard to know.

It might be antiqua
But I can't tell for sure. Is it unidentifiable, and should this go to Frass?

No, let's wait
We have a hunch these may yet get worked out as people photograph younger specimens and watch them grow.
