User's notes
The full length of the dorsal surface covered by a fawn band, with a darker shade of fawn over the abdomen, all of which is delineated by paler fawn lines of varying thickness along & around all margins and between the 3 main body segments, (photo 3). There appears to be a black brown mid line above the far end of the abdomen, which may be the colour of the upper abdomen, where the wings lie parted towards the back end (photo 3). The upper sides of the body are a rich mid-brown colour, and below that the body (head, thorax and possibly forward abdomen) appear to be a rich mid green separated by a narrow band of pale yellow which extends from behind the dark fawn eyes to the back end of the upper rear legs, (photo 1). The green coloured area merges into a green-brown, below & behind, which in turn merges into shades of yellow, brown. The upper rear legs are rich mid-brown on the upper surface, with the pale yellow delineating the top outer margin, belkow which it merges into shades of brown, darkest at the centre, and below that becoming a yellow brown (photo 2). The next section of the rear leg appears to be a light blue (best seen in photo 2; also visible in photo 1). The side of the joint between these 2 sections of the rear leg is tan on top, with a thin stripe of black separating it from the otherwise all-white of the lower joint. The antennae have an alternating pattern of small yellow-fawn and black bands.
