with the exception of a few more distinctive species Villa require specimens to say more then Villa sp., ideally a series including both sexes and even then they can prove impossible to name with confidence. In denmark a dissected male will probably suffice but many species are moving north so caution needed. |

I?m very happy for yor explanation of the difficulties in making species-ID. It exemplifies problems with just visual identification from pictures. Ruth Ahlburg Denmark |
