Umm... yeah... I almost grabbed this by hand when I caught this. Then I got back to my room, and found out what it was... then I almost had a coronary when the last thing I checked was a perfect match... ugh

At least it's a good photo, which the guide could use

Great! Thanks for the help!
I'm excited I got to add such a good photo (in my humble estimate) of this species
