May be an A. montanus female, but a view of the underside would be good to distinguish from A. viriditarsis.

This is the only photo I have of this one. No idea why. Usually there are about 20 or so to choose from (none from the back needless to say). I might have been in 'film' camera mode (when really from a cost point of view I couldn't afford to take more than one). Or it may have done a vanishing trick (flown away).

No worries! Has happened to me regularly as well that they got away before I could take all the pictures I would have wanted.
