User's notes
Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting of this mating pair on the walking track. Close inspection of the first two images shows a tiny fly-like, winged insect on the lefthand antenna of the female Slantface. Not sure what this was but the two long white tails may suggest a Mayfly. Additional details of this insect are provided under following sighting 4724472.
