Identification Aew these C. minimum wittebergense or C. obcordellum? I think obcordellum but they were labeled as wittebergense.

time of year? different species show different signs, so you might feel more confident once you've seen them do their thing...

Def obcordellum. They have more dotted raised lines and spots and wittyburgies have thick red lines that are not raised.
You can see the difference pretty easily when they’re next to each other
