Maybe...
I think they might be there (if I'm right that you're referring to the checking on the abdomen where it protrudes past the wings), it's just fainter than that on the other specimens pictured and kind of lost in all the glare? Maybe the full size image will show it better: http://www.flickr.com/photos/44150996@N06/9446199611/sizes/o/in/set-72157624243296028/
