This is probably the first photograph of this species from India. It has been described from Assam in this article: www.zoosprint.org/ZooPrintJournal/2004/N...

Thank you. This is probably the first photograph of this (rare) species from India.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Love those spines - great spotting Mr Ismavel.
