Hi,

This looks like a female Ocydromia glabricula to me, could it be anything else?

Taken on 18th October a few miles south of Lincoln UK.

Thanks, JanetSmile

I looked through my masses of pics from this year, looks like I have more pics of the same one in June but with a slightly less swollen abdomen.

I have pics of the male too, at least I think they are. Smile

I took pics on 4 different dates in May and June, I will upload 3 of them. If you would like me to upload any of the male and female pics let me know, I don't want to crowd the gallery.

This one 15th May
