Dicyrtomina ornata - frontal, Heesch, Netherlands

I'm assuming this is Dicyrtomina ornata, the single color antennae differentiate it from Dicyrtomina saundersi.

    Very nice. Make it grow a bit bigger and it would make a great pet. Posted 4 years ago

      I should have thrown a stick, see if it comes back with it. Stick would have to be about 0.5mm in this case :) Posted 4 years ago
