based on size alone, likely Acupalpus... gestalt of pauperculus

Acupalpus also works
for me. I don't know how to use the background calibrations to estimate body length. If Tom uses the same background often, then a word about these calibrations could appear in his profile. If it's common knowledge, I simply didn't know. I doubt I would remember again in 6 months, so a word in a photographer's profile would jog one's memory.

No measurement taken
but the background is the threads of my moth sheet.

So how did V know
"based on size alone"?
