First impression: Melinda gentilis, with a grain of salt (or more). I'm not very good in these. |

Thanks for the direction Jaakko, we have two Melinda species here, the other being M. viridicyanea. Perhaps the bue-green tint would make this more likely to be this one? There are no females in the Gallery so if it could be confirmed I can add it. |

I just realised there is a female of Melinda viridicyanea in the gallery, separated from the male by another species for some reason. It's a much brighter blue colour so maybe I am wrong there. |
