Lythrodes radiatus - The best feature separating the two species is size. L. radiatus (approx. 10mm) is consistently smaller than L. venatus (approx. 13mm). The red stripes of venatus tend to be broader and slightly duller and darker than in radiatus. The orbicular and reniform marks of venatus are usually (but not always) more conspicuous than those of radiatus. a
