I know that is disappointing. I actually had a similar problem during this period. I was helping photograph a native California plant genus for a brilliant man who was going to publish a major work on the subject. He died before its completion. I felt terrible

But I can try again. I am a full on flake, but your situation resonates with me. I am pretty sure I am still seeing this species.

I have sent you an E-mail. I hope you take my suggestion to open a free Flickr account because commenting on any photo I have posted is the only sure way of keeping contact with me. I'm retired and photography is my passion. I can go weeks or months without checking my email. But you can bet I read all comments on my photos!

I believe I might have the above species on my fence right now! My old habit would be to attempt an unambiguous photo. But I think you are saying a specimen in hand is much better. Or worse, that you are a better photographer than I :-0.

I can try to Shanghai one. Probably I'll end up crushing it in the process. But there are questions that need answers.

Note: I took the liberty of moving a new specimen directly to Myopsocidae page, and attempt to save you the hassle. If I am wrong then you have the same amount of work to move it elsewhere. See it here: .
