Moved from Frass. The new ones look good! Let's keep this one for a while, too.

After you identified it,
I went back and found a mating pair to photograph. I will put those in S. brevicornis, and would appreciate it if you would verify their ID for me. If you want to keep this picture too, it's ok but maybe not necessary. Thanks for your help.
