She is dark, so D. hydei? Thank you. johnes81 attached the following image: [42.47Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 11-07-2019 15:34 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.

I have several similar specimens, so now i can sort them all out. I appreciate you very much, John. johnes81 attached the following image: [49.14Kb] John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.

I have hydei somewhere too but i'm having trouble remembering the year and month. I have over a million photos and i haven't had time to organize them through the years. a bit sloppy with my organization of photos. I'll try to track down hydei. I think it was from last year but my shoulder started hurting last year. I don't remember alot of photo sessions from last year. John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.
