Yes, Oxys are always a pleasure to find in the field...I don't keep but I enjoy photographing.

There's really no need to "pop" your animal...If yours is from where I think it is, the females have a distinctive yellowish tinge on their throats/underbellies, and the males do not. The males' chins are more white than yellow. Hopefully you can see the "yellowish" color I am speaking of in these photos.

Here are a couple photos of an animal (a female) I found this past spring.
