Thanks. I'd previously posted a photo of a male. I presume this is a female.

Thanks John, I think this might be a 'pale male'. I've just used Richter's website for a photo reference.
Maybe you'll snag a female and complete the CNM set.

Cheers, Roy. :-)

Yes, this is a recently emerged male that is still developing its colour. They have only just started emerging this week, but should now come on with a rush. They're a couple of weeks behind schedule compared to last year. The females remain a greenish golden colour.
