Thanks Peter,
I have put these two photos which show the range of colour variation together. In the greenish one you can see the green speckling on the head formed by the clusters of chloroplasts in fine ducts of the digestive system.

I have put your other two photos in a separate message because together they show the shape of an elysiid so well.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
