  1. Wonderful, what a beast! Posted 9 years ago
    1. And given the fact that this one is not a fully grown adult... lateral (lobes) marks and size of the abdomen are a little bit wider on a fully grown adult... ;) This one was captured very close from where I live, so is relatively easy to follow. Let's hope it handles some predators ;) Thanks for the feedback, my friend, cheers* Posted 9 years ago
