Thanks, Don. The photographer had difficulty getting another angle and it was tiny! Perhaps we will see it again.

I've taken all the shadow out of the photo so that the pattern can be seen better. Hope this helps.

Eretmocera have spiny legs, obvious palps and the species E. coracopis has a white section in the antannae.
