Photos taken in Gouda (NL), summer 2004

Note: S. vulgatum differs from S. striolatum mainly by the black spot on the face: both species have a black stripe before their eyes, which descends alongside the eyes with S. vulgatum (as visible in the bottom photo) but doesn't with S. striolatum. Both species have black legs with a yellow stripe on it.
