This is an interesting genetic variation sometimes found in white-tailed deer, commonly called Piebald Deer. Check out the reference for more information.
This is an interesting genetic variation sometimes called a Piebald Deer. The reference tells quite a bit more about this.
I take it an "ooth" is an egg case? Love the word! Ooth!
How did you determine it is a Oxyopsis peruviana? I now notice it has brown spots on the wing -- is that it?
From your various suggestions I get the feeling you are well-versed in mantis lore. Hope your big dream comes true, Brian.
Thank you one and all! It's good to know the sketches add to the series, and to be honest, I am delighted to be in such expert and supportive company as you all!
Many thanks! I am thrilled with the SOTW honor and I'm so pleased to be able to give this little boa its debut in Project Noah to such an appreciative congregation of naturalists. ;o}
Thank you!
Thanks so much, guys! I feel so honored to be considered for the SOTW! Yes, I've really been fortunate in finding interesting subjects-- it helps to tell other people you want to see anything cool they find. Lots of eyes find lots of neat stuff for you. BTW, I accidentally clicked on "Interaction between different species of Arthropods" in the Missions box. I've removed it several times in "edit" but it won't go away. Sorry 'bout that!
No problem! lt is done!
