A. metallica (among other Avics) have white tipped setae. Like fiber optic lights. They also have white setae that runs dorso-laterally on the abdomen at least in adults. W/out the white tipped setae, it's not A. metallica. I should point out the color pattern I'm mentioning applies to sub-adults and adults. I cannot remember the exact pattern of my A. metallica at your Ts size. I should have mentioned this in my earlier post.
very pretty T. it is an Avic of some sort but as others have already pointed out it's not a metallica they definitely don't have that pretty red pattern on their butt.
