Very faded and tattered, probably a male, as it seemed quite small. Good view of the coiled proboscis in the first photo.

Yes, great detail of the labial palpi and the proboscis! I'm not so sure it's a male, the abdomen makes me think it might be a female instead. Still no colony located on Mt Taylor for this species yet?

I've only seen the odd one of these here and there, no obvious colony sighted.
