Default Scorpion ?

I would interpret the 'Passau Wolf' mark more as a representation of a stinging insect .

I see legs on both sides of this mark .

Im with you somewhat on that Rick, and in the Boccia reference and others the 'scorpion' mark appears, though it is a pretty Picasso-esque reach for this amoeba looking thing to match up with these scorpions. The little lines could represent legs, but the position is really bizarre.

So, doctors of entomology, have we reached the consensus on the origins of this fly-catcher? Philippines?

Not so sure I want to run this through GooGle Translate Dmitry .

This insect-like mark I seem to recall having seen on Philippine blades before .
