permission to temporarily reuse on BG?
I'd like to temporarily post a copy of your image, keeping it here on BugGuide, that I've adjusted in Photoshop for shadow/highlight. It would just be for comparison to another BG image that is probably the same species. I would immediately delete the copy of your image when the ID of the other insect is confirmed, which I expect will happen today.

Of course, Go ahead
and maybe add or link the improved version and it's conclusions to this post? If it adds information, don't delete it

Here's the copy
I adjusted the shadow/highlight in Photoshop to show the precise location of the black and red areas on the venter, which is one of the key ID factors for Axion and Chilocorus.
