Thank you very much,
I read that it has about 18 species of Taxigramma!
Identification appears to be with the median black spots on the abdomen.
Taxigramma heteroneura which has large and well marked spots
Taxigramma stictica which has small, bilobal spots.
Taxigram hilarella that has wide spots.
But there are probably other criteria, others species and I think my two Taxigramma are not identifiable? I note sp.?

If it succeeds in laying eggs on Pryonix kirbii's prey, will its larvae eat the prey or Pryonix larvae?
