Fishfly - Chauliodes pectinicornis - female

Fishfly - Chauliodes pectinicornis - Female
Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
July 25, 2004
Looking at the thin antennae, I believe this to be a female of the same species that visited our porch light earlier this year:

This gal hung around the light all night, but this morning all that was left were her wings scattered on our porch. I guess something had Fishfly for breakfast!

Close-ups?
Can you post a close-up of the antennae on this one? Megaloptera of Florida says both sexes have pectinate antennae, but Also, any shots from overhead of thorax, head, pronotum? I'd like to see the yellow marks in more detail. I think I've only seen the male of this species.

That is, if you please. I'm trying to learn these things, but have only photographed a few, and did not know what marks to look for.
