Wing venation
Hi Scott, would you consider adding an additional, cropped image of one pair of wings? This is one of the few clear view of wing venation and would be useful to have a close-up for the guide pages.

Compliments.
Just wanted to offer my compliments on a superbly mounted specimen, and fine photography. How did you do this? I might want to image some of my specimens if I can get these results:-) Could you post a reply as a topic in the photography section of the Forum? I'm sure others would be interested as well. Thank you.
