Hmmm now that you mention it I guess there is more orange in there. The pictures really do not do the coloration of this individual justice. Roughly 2 years old you say? That’s interesting, I would have guessed a lot younger but I am use to larger specie. As stated before this is the first and only C. Bottae I have ever observed and collected. I have since made the trip back to the location it was collected but had not luck in obtaining anymore. Dose this specie normally stay in communal areas? I have read about several individuals occurring under one piece of cover but as stated have never observed it myself. I am in high hopes this year that I will observe more C. Bottae as I have become very interested in them. What would you say is the best time of year, day, habitat to located this specie? I have been told that with the very wet weather we have been having here in N California we should start seeing C. Bottae as well as C. Tennuis under cover object soon. Dose C. Bottae not hold out under ground for the winter. I have personal observed several C. Tennuis just this last winter but they seem to seek more secretive shelter in the warmer months “About May- August” Anyway thanks for any info you can offer.
