Cophes oblongus
a nice find indeed, Mark: we've got the first one in the guide just a few weeks ago...

Great!
I'm happy with this image, which is a composite of 2 photos that I made in Photoshop (nothing different between the two but the focal distance).

I was astonished to see all the scales when I looked under the scope.

...and looked at its scaly armor under the scope!
