Moved from Typical variations.

I'm rearing P. audax from Texas that look just like this one at about 5mm in body length. This one is almost certainly P. audax, but being so young, I prefer to leave it at the genus level.

Right on target,

The
band on the OQ of the carapace is a young regius trait.
