October 23 Lancashire 3mm+. Abdomen shining gold. 2dc I think, but the anterior pair weak. Pleural dusting seems to fit too. Is the gold abdomen a variable feature? Does it depend on age, sex or season? Stephen R attached the following image:  [135.21Kb] Edited by Stephen R on 24-10-2009 14:02 |

Yes, a male S. fulgens. I think the golden abdomen is a gender thing, but I'm not sure.  |

This is a male Sepsis punctum (only 1 pair of dc).
