Hi, any chance this Villa sp. can be ID'd from a photograph?
The range of possible species is quite limited here, as it is photographed in Ume?, Sweden, at 65 degrees North. Of the genus Villa, only modesta, occulta and hottentotta has been reported this far north in Sweden, and I doubt hottentotta can look like this. Can this be identified as V. modesta?

Cheers,
Viktor
