Hello Manni,

thanks for sharing!
Are both Natrix natrix from the left banks of Rhine river?
So both should be helveticas?

Hello Mario,
no, the helveticas comes from the left side in Bad Kreuznach and the Natrix natrix from the other side in Cologne.
but you have right, the Natrix natrix looks like a helvetica. I'm not sure.
