What a difference a day makes …
Here I just wanted to show you how Chrysoexorista spp. loose their colour almost over night. This first photos show how the Chrysoexorista looked a few hours after it had been removed from the malaise trap alcohol and the last 3 show how it looks now:
Hi Chris,
This is interresting. If you rehydrate this specimen, how are its colours? Are they restored as metalic green?
Cheers
Yves
I haven’t had the courage to try rehydrating one yet … when I get a few more I will certainly do it though – first into alcohol to see if it brings back the green 😀
