I don't see the dark intersegmental rings or rings of white hairs. Did you rear it?

didn't rear it. It is feeding in a wattle c.f. Sighting 4568382 original photos were very underexposed, I had to adjust them a little so you could see them. I will add another with greater adjustment - which shows dark bands?
