Yep definately a Pangio sp. I would possibly go for Pangio anguillaris or Pangio oblonga-not certain though. Need a clearer pic for what exact species :wink:

There are a number of Pangio sp that don't have the striped pattern;

I think Ashleigh is right with pangio-anguillaris, but a clearer picture would help. Check the species description. Does this look like the one?
