Very nicely done Laurie. I really like the angle and the lighting! Are you sure it's a Doli? When I saw this I immediately assumed it to be a small Rhagionid.

John no not that sure at all, will have a bit of a google. Now I think about it previous Doli's have had differently shaped eyes so I suspect you're correct that it's not one of these...

Yes, the shape of the eyes struck me as more similar to Rhagionids I've found. I shot this one a couple of years ago but if I ever determined the ID of it I can't seem to find the data at this point. I'm pretty sure it's a Rhagionid though. farm4.static.flickr.com/3125/5847651691_cc3f30d8de_b.jpg farm4.static.flickr.com/3064/5848209586_b30acfd6b3_b.jpg
