Wow, you really have spent time stalking these critters Janet.... so many pics and some great feeding/mating views on your blog. I guess you turned up too late to see the courtship rituals, but maybe next year... Here's one of my females, which I'm naively assuming is P germanica as well, as amy males were P.germanica, and it looks like your pics of them. I've generally read that females can't be IDd, but you seem to have tried harder than most to do this. What do you think?
