ยท114 Th. collected in one small area wood
area adjacent to the large clearing, including
43 Th. collected under one log.
-all seem the same with a dotted
belly with intermediate whitish flecking
except for two extremely large indices
which stand out as being much
larger and stockier although limb
proportions seem the same as the smaller
indices.
-this is the only sign of two species which
I can see at this point
- 10 representatives of the smaller size
class have been frozen (F55+F56),
all with evident dorsome glands.
-one of the larger forms is frozen as F57,
the other will be kept alive
-a few gravid females, two evident
and some of those picked with a more
or less random sample of others.
-an additional few animals of the small
morph not showing mental glands were
frozen as F58
