    Just double checking, are you sure this is Canthon triangularis? On most photos I see online it has multiple spots on the thorax. This one looks closer to Canthon luteicollis, at least visually. Posted 5 years ago

      To be honest with you Ferdy, I'm not the expert here, If you think that it's Canthon luteicollis, I will believe you, Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
