      Thanks Ferdy :o) Had the hardest time finding an ID, due to it looking so different from the other stages *rolleyes* After reading up I realized I should try to get a better image of the hind tibia, as these apparently are swollen and filled with sensory organs. Will see if I can find her (or a sister) back ... Posted 4 years ago

    Wait! So, the ovipara and vivipara females are different morphs/they look different?! This never occurred to me. I assumed they looked the same, but just had different functions. Posted 4 years ago
