With these species what you need to supply is a photo into one of the flowers as what is needed is being able to see that black appendage on the labellum, its shape and colour but be careful not to touch it as it will snap shut and we can not tell. I can just see sufficient of the black appendage in your second photo, but only just. I hope this helps in future. Derek
