Well, friends, I photographed a lot of Mellinus specimens (mostly hunting females), and they all had more yellow bands on the abdomen, so that black and yellow areas were about fifty-fifty. This one appears black with only one prominent (discontinuous) band, two lateral spots and a yellow tip. Is there such a great variability?
