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.

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 :D But I appreciate the comment all the same |t

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

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