New Helper - It's A .....

Last week, I introduced you to my new garden helper and asked whether you thought it was a ‘he’ or a ‘she’.
Over twenty of you responded (thanks for your input) and the majority decided it was a female. The conclusive comment came from Shirley – “females have tufts of hair on their short horns — males are bare topped”
I think from this close-up picture, it’s definitely a female.
So here is introducing:
