Almost certainly 14-spot. The cream-spot, Calvia quattuordecimguttata, is similar but only has four pale marks towards the back of the abdomen and has more extensive markings on the forebody and also on head.

Hi,



Make it certain The Cal.qua. has distinctly longer brushes too. Oenopia conglobata is also somewhat similar, but this is Pro.qua. You can compare images on www.stipple.org.



Cheers, Arp
