This one looks peculiar. The head is clearly male but the abdominal markings looks female. Intersex?

Interesting, I do remember it being extremely small. The Hypericum is a dwarf plant but I can't at the moment remember the species name, the flowers are not as big as shrubby ones. Unfortunately it flew before I could get a back view but I got 3 good side shots. I just thought of another I have but only one pic from 14th July, it is a female but the marks are a little broader than either M. scalare or mellinum. I wonder if it was the parent? It struck me as strange too. Edited by blowave on 04-12-2009 23:40 |
