    Hi, I've just posted one of these and your image has come up as the species marker....just wondering where the antennae are on your spotting? I read that they are jet black and (as can be seen on my spotting) are about twice the length of the head. Legs are quite markedly black at the top and white at the bottom, which I also don't see here - could this be another species you have posted? Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
