Dear Stephen (and Karl)
I'm able to make some more pictures on friday. Could you be more precise in what ventral detail you need? is it the anal segment, the entire abdomen or a specific sternite?


Sorry, Atylotus, I was only looking at this aesthetically! Karl Blossfeldt was a photographer who specialised in natural forms as inspiration to artists, including sculptors and architects, in the early 20th century. See http://www.karl-b...archiv.de/
Your ventral photo of the thorax showing the legs and wings is just the sort of thing he would have done, except that he specialised in plants.
Bad manners on my part not to make it clear what I meant. :(
