  1. Nicely covering most of the genus, great job! Posted one year ago
    1. thank you :-)
      I met all of them in a very small area - only few hundred meters between them, yet the habitat changed: saltmarsh for this one, sea spray for the P.marginata and sands in between the marsh and the sea for the P.incurva :-)
