Close. but five conspicuous grey stripes on thorax = female sepulchralis. Also aeneus is a sea coast species (at least in U.K, Ireland) Robert Edited by Robert Nash on 04-09-2006 16:02 |

Hmmm, Robert, you shouldn't forget that in Southern Europe the females of aeneus also have strong stripes on the thorax, just like sepulchralis. And in the South they're not restricted to the coast, you'll find them inland as well!  But, still this could be sepulchralis, because it looks like it has dull spots on the abdomen which would suggest sepulchralis! greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
