Thanks

Wonderful pics Jenn!! From the second pic, it looks like this species has lot of tiny hairs.
I went and looked at it full size on my flickr site and it is hairy... strange!

 
Looks like a nice male there - and very nice pictures, as always! Two molts to go, guessing by the development of the wings.

 
They just molted to L5. Its funny if you look these guys have a very fine hair on them...
