No worries Pam! Thanks for the feedback Kate, looking forward to your ID.

thanks Daniele. I'll wait and see what our resident Swaziland expert, Kate, comes up with. Had the pleasure of spotting with her several times while in Swaziland.

I think the abdomen isn't wide enough for it to be the Widow. I have pics of what looks like the same type as this, so I'll let you know when I get an ID on that one.

Hi Pam! Less sure about this one than the Lucia (the Lucia I observed myself in Tanzania), so please confirm again :-)
