User's notes
This is an additional record for previous sighting 4552721 to help with identification. The original images have been reworked and uploaded here at higher contrast and definition than sighting 4552721. The images of this fast-moving insect were taken with a telephoto lens, so the quality isn't as good as with a macro lens and is probably as good as I can achieve. Hope this helps NatureMapr's experts with the identification.
