green lynx. pretty animal, huh!

 
Meeting my thought
Thank you very much for ID. Could you tell me is there large variance in body color and black spots for this species?
Possibly based on different stages of development?

 
-
Well, I'm not an expert by ANY means. But, one thing I've learned from this web site is that the variation in a single species can be HUGE. You can browse thru the image tab for this species and see how much they vary.

 
Huge variance
I know many species either animals or plants have huge variation particulary in color, spot pattern and size. If this species belongs to this situation, then no question on ID.
thanks.

 
Many variations are cataloged here.
There are so many that two categories have been created. You'll find eastern variations starting here:http://bugguide.net/node/view/2032/bgimage?from=57

 
Wow, so diverse in color
Thank you, Ron, so much for this site. I will tour more when my time is available.
