Both color morphs from Culp Valley - Timema boharti - male - female

Both color morphs from Culp Valley - Timema boharti - Male Female
Culp Valley, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, San Diego County, California, USA
March 27, 2017
Size: Female BL > 30 mm
I measured my fore-finger and thumbnail in the background, and used the results to estimate the scale here. Based on that, the female here is at least 3 cm long.

Note that the female's cerci are flexed open here, perhaps providing some potential diagnostic info.
