Thank you Dr Bob Mesibov for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Of this specimen, Bob said "Very interesting, and probably a (native) spirostreptidan - never seen this patterning before, though!" The legs on the 1st-5th segments are diagnostic, as are the eyes & genetalia. So it's important to try and photograph these areas clearly for id. As you can see, I wasn't able to. Everytime I turned it over, it turned back and ran. In terms of colour (ie darkness & amount of orange coming through); this specimen varied considerably depending on the camera settings. | |||||
