Thanks Frans
Apologies there are no other pictures of this one, for future Isotomid identifications, what shots/angles should I proritize?

To ID Isotomurus
we need :
1. a close-up of the eyepatch to verify the layout of the ocelli. Best is a shot that is orthogonal to the eye.
2. to verify the presence of 3 lateral macrosetae on abd.4. They should be in a triangular constellation.
3. a shot of the dorsal pattern.
