Moved tentatively; great shot but a bit short of detail...
do you happen to have a higher-res version? if you do, pls replace this pic (upload using this very form, rather than 'add image')

Moved from ID Request.

Mantispid
I was very disappointed with the focus on these shots - new camera and I just didn't get the focus right. The original is a RAW at 5472x3648; this one was cropped only about 20% of the original (and then reduced to 560 pixels wide). I have about 30 shots of this individual. This is probably the best dorsal oblique view. I have some pure dorsal and several lateral shots (one already added), as well as some closeups of the head and thorax. Would any particular view help?
