@cre8momentum & @poida84, an amusing end to an intriguing mystery! :) @poida84, hope you see the glossies again, along with the ghost mushrooms.

Oh dear - that was me commenting on the GITM page, and yes it was intended as a complementary expression! Sorry for confusion and the time spent trying to figure out the mystery!

Thanks, @poida84. With your last comment, GITM1 was able to find the discussion comment on your FB page. While we agree that 'Divine' would be a perfect name for the flossy, we think there has been a misunderstanding in that 'divine' was meant as a descriptive compliment, not a name. Her yellow facial markings are beautiful. What we could do now is continue with the comparisons we have been making with the known flossies in GITM. You have good views of one side of her face & her tail. Do you have any views of the other side of her face? If you do, could you edit your sighting & add that view? We haven't found a match for the views you have already uploaded, but both facial views would give us a better chance of finding a match. If you don't have the other facial view, then we will consider her a new flossy & you can name her - maybe suggest a couple of names as we already have a large list of names & all haven't been added to NM yet.
