Dear Pristurus
I have received three specimens of your larvae (one dead, two alive) and they belong to Stratiomys longicornis. The anal segment is almost bare and is relatively short in comparison with S. singularior. Also the dorsal side has abundant white spots (also in S. singularior). Only by size, O. ornata was possible, but this species has a shorter anal segment and a completely different color pattern.
With best wishes
p.s. would you like them to be returned ?
