What else do you need to see?
I still have it -- I was going to release it in the morning.

Edit: Never mind -- it must have escaped. I have more pictures but I don't know if they show anything useful.

A more lateral shot, which might make me more certain of the subfamily, but with the specimen, of course, I should have been able to determine the genus. I suspect that it may be a male of Phygadeuontini but can't be sure.
