I think the genus Miltogramma is correct. Do you agree?
In the gallery, there is a Miltogramma cf. punctata which looks very similar.

The vibrissa is a bit strong and the apical tergites carry spots of recumbant black hairs, so this should be a Pterella.

Two years ago, I had a very similar specimen on the same spot.

Does this ring a bell?

Well, let us keep this like that.
It will be enough for us.
Thanks again.
