Thanks Ben for the info on the S S Darts. I hadn't realised the dark ones were female.

  1. If you didn't already know, the dark Shuttle-shaped Dart's are females, wheras the light coloured ones are males.
    Good catch and welcome back! the weather is fair which is great, although not quite as hot as the Cayman Islands!

  2. Cheers Ben, I didn't realise they were different sexes. Got a long way to go before I lose the "L" plates (:D
