Isotoma viridis This is very probably I. viridis. The species is hard to separate from I. anglicana and it&#039;s better to do a microscopic examination. One diagnostic character is the structure of the pigmentation in the cuticle - from what I can discern on my original image (full res) the skin on this one should be okay for viridis.<br />
