A very early Gonia. I think it fits with Gonia ornata, but I don't dare to say for sure. Confirmation or correct ID will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!!  Taken in the outskirts of Madrid on the 19th March 2012. Piluca_Alvarez attached the following image:  [155.1Kb] |

I'll have to pass on that - that colour pattern is too hard without specimens

Thanks Chris, and don't worry  I understand Gonia are awfully tricky and there aren't so many species in UK to practise  But I appreciate the comment all the same  |

It does fit ornata, but all disclaimers are still valid. Theo |

Thank you so much, Theo! Only that I don't understand the word 'disclaimers' in this context  Do you mean that although it does fit ornata cannot be said for certain? |
