Thanks, Cindy! It indeed looks alike and CA has similar climate as the Mediterranean part of Spain. Is a pity they don´t have a species name yet on that spotting.

Los macros son increíbles. Voy a consultar con mi hermana, Isabela (de PNoah), ella conoce mucho la bio de nuestra costa. Tiene una web: http://marmenormarmayor.org/Biodiversida...
Ya te diré si averiguo algo. Abrazos.
