    Beautiful find and a very nice photo! But I couldn't find any reliable source of how to distinguish the species. Obviously it is quite difficult to identify them based only on photos. Are you sure this is C. imperiosus?

      Did you look at the two articles that I linked under the other photo? Those that I found for my country aren't that similar? Unless you found another one? Posted 9 years ago
