I wondered about that,
but since I had kept it a day before photographing it, I discounted it as a possibility. Still, it did spend most of its time in the refrigerator, which evidently retarded the curing of the exoskeleton. Or else it is a slow process in the first place! Thank you for your helpful comment. I imagine this will not make determining the species any easier....
