having had a visit by a male Atlanticus testaceus but a few days ago, one might slip into the assumption that this is a female testaceus. but having spent some time now at a number of websites, i find it easy to make other interesting (and perhaps erroneous) assumptions.

to wit: this female, not yet at prime, lacks full color in her legs which, soon enough, will well match the rest of her body. although she is not supposed to be a resident this far north, (see http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/282a.htm) she nevertheless is.

did she hitch a ride in a vehicle which started from farther south and deposited her here?

dark coloration as well as ovipositor shape and position proclaim this lady Atlanticus gibbosus: see http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/282pf2.htm.

say you 'yea' or 'nay'??
