Thanks, I think the genus level is fair enough.

Have a revision on my computer, but I won't try. Remember there were too many four-spotted species . . .

Thanks, it does look like your spotting Billo but I don't think it's the same species. Yours has a lot more spots but perhaps its the same genus, I'm not sure.
