If this is the only pic, I can't help you.

Suggestion: try to make pictures from behind (I know, they don't cooperate): we can see the dusting on thorax so much better !

Yes, with Gymnosoma if you can't get a clear and highly magnified shot of the genitalia (Wink) then we need to see the dusting on the face and thorax clearly, without reflections/shine etc Smile Easy eh? Pfft Now do that while the wind is blowing and the flower is swaying and the fly is dancing around in circles Grin
