I totally forgot about submitting the other set of images I have of the probable adult specimen. I'll try and get those up tomorrow so that you can review them too. :-)

...of the adult specimen. Curious to hear what you think! I have many other photos, so If you need to see an angle or anatomic feature that I haven't provided, just let me know.

I knew these guys reminded me of some household object -- I just couldn't come up with which one. You nailed it!

It must be the pacifist in me, because I just kept on seeing a peace sign... (*smile*)

I'll never look at these the same way again!

Dave, did I interpret your comment correctly here in marking this post as an immature female? Would it be safer to just mark it as immature?

...if my next submission clarifies matters at all. The second specimen I photographed may be the adult of this species. In any event, my photos of this second one are significantly more compelling and have detailed views of pretty much all the pertinent areas of anatomy. (As I recall, it was larger than this one, but did retain some hints at the rusty coloration, so like I said, it may just turn out to be the adult version.)

Thanks for your valued input Dave! I'll go ahead and move to family for now...
