Thx Les. Been confused by the terms. Do these "veins" vary much in different spp.?

[Painted Jezebel]

With regards to the veins, unfortunately, both the vein pattern and the number of veins very from Genus to Genus. However, the pics show how the numbering works, so they can be used for any species. C&P4 gives the venation characteristics for many Genera.
