Emma: Yes I agree livinlifelarge7: Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I followed the link that you posted and although it is similiar and in the same family, the markings on their backs are different. I will comtinue to search for the specific species and if you find something before I do I would greatly appreciate any feed back :)
