Here we have the lower half of the body still to emerge. The wings are still very crumpled and small. I will try to remember to use Live view for next time!

Great find Jon! Good to see you could get an angle to support a nice bg.

Sweet frame. Everything looks good to me. Maybe just a little less room below.
