I noticed that too but, though it doesn't mention it explicitly in the article, this seems to be a nocturnal beast so you'd pretty much have to use a flash to get the picture.--RDBury (talk) 08:41, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment Actually, I can see it now having found out what it is, and looking at it at full res it's quite clear. I think this may be just a case of something not looking right when made smaller. So, I'll undo my previous vote for now, but won't support just yet. Anoldtreeok (talk) 00:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
