Identification
Best told from A. vulgare by the conspicous "nose tab" and the rounded telson tip. The color pattern can also be used but there is some overlap that makes it very hard to confidentially tell them apart using color without experience

native to sw. Europe, adventive in the New World(1); in our area, e. NA (NS―GA to MN―NE―TX) and w. NA (BC―CA―CO)
Habitat
Grasslands, quarries, gardens, greenhouses
