This record includes two individuals. The first three photos are of one, the fourth and fifth photos are of a slightly smaller individual. I note the terminalia are slightly different and the frontal bristles are white in the first, and dark and slightly sparser in the second. Does tis indicate the first is a female and the second a male. They were photographed 7 minutes apart but within a metre of the same spot in the garden. I didn't see them together so no interaction recorded.
