All of the specimens of P. mira (see Carico 72 for ID) that I have seen around here look roughly like this variety, although it seems strange that one species has so many varieties.

I think we should move this one image to the guide page and frass the other two. We already have a ton of images of this species in the guide. They do have quite a variety of patterns.
