2022-06-18 Teglstrup Hegn (nordsjælland), Denmark Imago ♂ I first took this one for a Yellow-spotted, thinking it looked big and powerful. But measurements indicate that they are not that different in size why you can't always use that a criteria for separation. |

2022-06-18 Teglstrup Hegn (nordsjælland), Denmark Imago ♂ Fandens Hul. A young male as I see it, with rather strongly marked yellow spots on the abdomen. But the slender body and the black inner half of the costa to the forewing support the species. |
