Ladona julia
Mature males develop a white pruinescence on the top of the thorax & at the base of the abdomen, while the rest of the abdomen turns black. Females become almost uniformly dark brown, with a dusting of grey pruinescence near the base of the abdomen; a few develop the same colour pattern as the males.
