Found this among the photo's being junked....seems to be a bit lacking in the antennae department. What kind of reception would it get with these tiny things, just visible. Cause ????

I think they are just fitted into the facial concavity. :)

Facial concavity :). What size of a concavity would hide the antennae ? Going by the following pics the base of the antennae would be somewhere in line with the back of the eye :S.

The top photo (different fly ) is about the same angle for comparison with the original (lower pic)
