i see
we have no adults in the guide. are you rearing these perhaps?

 
Yes
Yes, rearing these and forwarding them on for DNA analysis (which was sadly never done by the recipient). Photo of an adult from last year is posted at the genus level. Did not rear that one so can't be sure although given the habitat it too is almost surely G. telma.
