User's notes

Additional close-up detail for previous sighting 4525371. These images are between 1X and 5X magnification and provide some detail of the mechanosensory bristles that cover the external exoskeleton. The bristles can be seen originating mainly from within the dimples but also between them. The first image also shows the bristles that grow out of the compound eye structure.
