User's notes
Image 1 shows a recently emerged female immediately mating with a male with a second male nearby. The second image several minutes later with one of the female's wings already half formed. The third image, a few minutes later shows the female succumbing to attack by a spider (bottom right of image) with her second wing failing to develop. A short but exciting adult life!.
