great
in light of the EGR's remark, i'm surprised that we've got so few pix of it thus far; could you please try to take a shot of it with the entire antennae within the frame? maybe lower-res...

STUNNING!!!
must be an oedemerid --exceedingly sweet one, too; suggest checking the old faithful BCI, Mike. Suspect something akin to Sparedrus
