I knew this variety exists, but I never found one, so I was convinced they were not present in my area.
After finding hundreds of Graphosoma lineatum italicus, a couple of days ago while chasing a moth I found a Graphosoma semipunctatus.. I felt great
They have interrupted lines (dots) behind the head, and they are pale yellow underneath.
The lineatum have continuous lines and underneath they are the same red/orange color as in the back with larger dark dots.
The "new" semipunctatum
and the llineatum I found so many before...
