nice photos - the shot of the male conversely shows quite a polished area above the antennae cf. ater but this may be a product of direct camera flash? -the appearance can vary under strong direct lighting. Notice the clearer centre to the wings though which also seems obvious in the field when viewed oblquely.

Let me add that I'm a rank amateur, and we should let someone like Theo Zeegers have the final say!
