Spotted Joker (Byblia ilithyia)


They have variations due to season, if not this then it would be a Common Joker (both found in KNP) - but is not :twisted:

0' 0' 0'


The two similar species of Jokers are most easily separated by the presence (in B. ilithyia) or absence of a median row of small black dots.

Where? 0' =O:

There are only two genera in SA Sphaerotherium and Kylindotherium. It's a Sphaerotherium O**

Found this now, here

I think due to size and location coastal dune forest, it's Sphaerotherium giganteum -O- -O-

If you want to ask an expert, I can tell you who would know 0'
