This is not of the species Epidares nolimetangere. It is still a nymph, likely of the species Haaniella echinata or at least Haaniella sp. Posted 5 years ago

    That picture in the link is of correct ID.
    The animal in your picture does not show the spines of Epidares.
    Besides, as mentioned earlier, shown in your picture is still a nymph, not an adult yet.
    Epidares is a small species whereas Haaniella is a much bigger species.
    This nymph is likely already bigger size than the adult Epidares. Posted 5 years ago
