I carefully checked on the pronotum: in 2013 I observed 2 male L. raymondi on this site; its larva has typically 4 pale spots on the pronotum (2 frontolateral, 2 posterolateral). This larva only the 2 hind (posterolateral) pale spots on the pronotum.
It was glowing crawling in the moss in the crevices of the chalky rocks

Observer
fireflyer_rafaDescription
Males attracted to light decoys. Afterwards quite some individuals were also remarked on the road towards the city center, crawling on the pavement in the light of the street lanterns (hard pressure sodium), so attracted out of dark habitat (and glowing females) into the ALAN (artificial light at night)/light pollution.
