One of the tiniest of all the Nomada..so small that it made no sense to try and Photoshop out the pin on which it was glued. We are production operation, rarely do we have the luxury of having specimens that we can prepare beforehand for picture taking. Thus you take what is given to you. In this case the pin and the clear glue are not that distracting and even a bit attractive, particularly with the interference patterns in the wings. Specimen collected in Wicomico County by Brooke Alexander who also took the picture
