Not gracilior
Hi Pete, P. gracilior doesn't occur that far north, but close! If you compare this one with gracilior you'll see that the hands of gracilior are much more robust, the tail is very slender, and the eyes are quite large.

Not sure what you mean. I added an image on the form presented for ID request. Did I do something wrong?

Click "edit"
In the field "Copyright owner:" it says "Scorpion". It should either be blank if you took the picture, or the name of the photographer if it wasn't you. The instructions are under the field.
