I saw this in the 'Drents-Friese Woud', forest in North Netherlands. It seems to have much more extensive orange coloration than the ornata I have seen in the dunes. Does this still fit withi the normal range of ornata? (8 May)

It is a female, which is very difficult to separate from distinguenda (what's in a name ?) Did you collect any ? Theo |

Sorry, no collecting... What struck me was, besides color, the different habitat. I know ornata from open dune habitat. This was in half open fir forest, good undergrowth of shrubs and herbs/moss. So I thought that either ornata has a very broad niche range, or it might be a different species. Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

Any frontal shot from the head or the tailshot from the tail, no matter how unsharp (within limits, of course) would help. Otherwise.... Theo |
