Wow - it's the strangest E.vulgata I ever saw then :D All the ones I see here in England have mottled wings and a much paler colour on the body.
What kind of river was it found near? Slow and muddy or fast with stones?
Hi Chris! Well, I've seen a few photos on the web all with rather light colored species. Perhaps the animals get darker when older, but what do I know ...
It was found near a small stream with slowly running water both muddy and sandy with stones, but not much water. That place is about 1,5 km from lake V?nern (Swedens largest lake).
