Thanks John
this is a vantral, the only descent shot I have of the dorsal is in the first shot of this sequence. I fed this one to a spider but they seem pretty common so I'll look for another one if you need a different ahot. What do you need to see?

Forked gonostylus
A group of Orthocladiinae has a forked gonostylus. Most other genera have different wings or eyes.

I believe that is visible if you zoom in on the dorsal shot
though it is slightly oblique so it is off to one side. I'll try find another one and get a definitive shot.
