I thought this was very pretty, but it wasn't keen on having its photo taken... Any suggestions welcome

Thanks for the info! - No, alas I didn't collect a specimen. Is there anything it could be confused with?

I could always go back and try to collect one, - but I don't have a collection and I'm not sure who else would be interested!
