Good question. I needed to think on that. It is called ' jizz'.

In Brachycoma, the silvery abdominal spots are broader and more transverse. Moreover, the abdominal tip is less conical than in this specimen.

If you have seen only one Brachyocoma, you don't think much of such features. If you have seen dozens, it is obvious.


Hope that helps.
