[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
does this sound like a hawker to you -description.
This Hawker has paired spots on each abdominal segment, two broad stripes on the sides of the thorax and the costa is yellow in both sexes. The male has quite small blue spots on each segment of the abdomen and appears quite dark. The yellow ante-humerals are narrow and eyes are blue.
The female is brown with similar markings to the male but the spots are yellow, or occasionally green or blue (Scotland). The ante-humerals are insignificant or absent and eyes are brownish.
