Hi Diego
Welcome on board.
The pic doesn't show, at least not on my screen.
Please check the help on this matter.
Your pic can't be bigger than 160 kB or so.

Thanks Jorge. I have put the name in Google and all the photos leave with the abdomen orange instead of black like in mine. Is single a variation of color or sexual dimorphism?

Theo's words: "This species is extremely variable in colouration, this variety has nothing to do with sexual dimorphism."

Very good!
And Susan, look at those hind tibiae, difficult to see in this pic, but most remarkable (pennipes). The first time I saw this species was 10 years ago, I knew it made to be from another universe. Actually, it turned out to be the Neotropics.

Theo - I know what you mean - I noticed the pennation. This pic was just so unexpected. Well done to Dicon.
