Another view showing the wing venation. Notice the little teeth along the front edge.

On second thought, I read somewhere that a spiny costal vein is typical of Suillia sp. How characteristic and unique can that be ?

Thanks Kahis.

The learning curve for me does not seem to be very steep, is it ? D'OH!!
