Small species - Kukulcania - female

Small species - Kukulcania - Female
Lafayette, Contra Costa County, California, USA
December 19, 1999
This small species can be found under rocks. I collected it nearly seven years ago as a fourth instar. It should be noted that Kukulcania have been known to live as long as ten years!

Another little known but interesting fact is females continue to molt after sexual maturity. Sexually mature females can produce an egg sac a year and may shed one to two times a year.(under favorable conditions)
