Hypogastrura nivicola? - Hypogastrura nivicola
Pelham, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
February 28, 2010
Just wondering if this shot shows the setae clearly enough to say whether they are consistent with Hypogastrura nivicola. I can add shots of the whole animal if this image shows anything useful.

Images of this individual: tag all

Hypogastrura nivicola-group
Given we count 1+1 setae on the cephalic area just above (upper inbetween) the eyepatches the specimen belongs to the nivicola-group.
How long are the anal spines of this specimen?
Feel free to upload the whole animal shot.

Images added
I've added several images... only the second one is the same individual as the one above with 100% certainty, but all were taken within a square meter or so. I can't see anal spines in any of the photos, so I guess they're very small, and therefore nivicola?
