Field Notes

Notes:

Take a closer look at the four specimens: the one posted immediately ahead is apparently similar to this one with similar size and number of red and black dots, however in this specimen red bands are thicker and the yellow band at the tail end is much broader.

Yes, it was sitting on a window pane. The 2nd photo is through the glass, and may be quite rare to see its ventral part. Thanks Maria!
