Observed on August 14, 2024 in the garden (Germany, Baden-Württemberg, Karlsruhe district, Karlsbad-Spielberg) - I'm not sure, is this Xanthogramma pedissequum or X. dives? Who can help?
Thank you for your help.

I think it's a female
Xanthogramma pedissequum:
- the median stripe is connected with vertex
- only 1 yellow spot on sides of thorax
