Taken on 21st April 2008. The male, this one has slightly broken yellow abdominal marks. The very similar S. torvus (which has hairs on the eyes) and S. vitripennis both have complete bands.

Taken on 21st May 2008. A male with eyes close together, the yellow hind femur can be seen through the wing, this separates it from similar species.
