It could be true that they're all misidentified. Yet it concerns a significant amount of individual photographers, so in that case the error would be widespread. Which is of course possible.
It could also be that the spots in some individuals are simply faint. As a result of variability, age, sex, local adaptation, etc.
I honestly don't know which of the 2 statements is true, just offering food for thought. It seems a poorly described genus. Even Bold Systems is lacking, which is rare.
Best of luck ;) Posted 3 months ago, modified 3 months ago
