A decent (posed) photograph of Zyxomma obtusum

Finally managed to get a site with enough Z. obtusum to collect, they are somewhat hard to photograph perching as I have not been able to see it yet. I have uploaded a dead posed Zyxomma. I'm somewhat unclear whether it will turn out to be Z. obtusum (a bit unclear now given that I have not had much experience with the species). The photographed one was caught 6:20 AM before sunrise, I have seen them flying at dusk before sunset. They are active for little over 30 minutes and are very active fliers. I have never seen one perching.
