Another flightless female - Lycostomus sanguineus - Female
Saguaro National Park West, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, USA
May 12, 2008
Size: less than 1 in
This one looks exactly like the one that R Pearson submitted from Skull Valley AZ last year. I think we can exclude now that this form is just due to a faulty molt. Afterall this group is related to the fireflies.
