== Description == Encyosaccus sexmaculatus is dark orange, with a black tarsus (the last leg segment). The dorsal side of the abdomen is light orange spotted with black. A white border, a white line running on the anterior-posterior axis, and two lines running on the left-right axis, segment the orange area into six sections.
