User's notes

The images provide additional close-up detail for previous sighting 4533112 to help with identification. The first and second images are 5X magnification and show a close-up of the compound eyes, a large white coloured simple eye at the antenna base, and a smaller simple eye in the middle of the head between the two antennae. Close inspection shows insect scales (butterfly scales?) attached to the head and antenna. The third image is a 5X magnification of an antenna showing how the sections progressively change shape along the antenna’s length. There is also an insect scale attached to one of the segments. The fourth image is a close up of the leading edge of one of the wings at 5X. The final image is 3X magnification showing details of the head arrangement.
