Hi, 
This I saw briefly on 24th April 2009.  Can anyone tell me which species it is? 
A few miles south of Lincoln UK.

P. noctiluca female, most likely.

Thanks again Andre, this one has spots!B)  Is it the females with spots, males without as a rule or does it vary?

Males are generally without, or with just very narrow, spots. Indeed :)
