Taked in Madrid, Spain, 1000m aprox. Some help? Cheers. Edited by SkyPlooM on 11-06-2009 18:24 Veganism save lifes.

The second one looks like C. cautum but i don't have experience outside Belgium... maybe Andre or others can help you further... Also i guess the policy of the forum is to keep one thread per specimen... grtz pieter
