>>Nice post, Terry. You've got some interesting observations and ideas concerning localities of bimaculata - good stuff for thought. It would be great if the field collectors would note the localities of the animals they capture.

Thanks, Toby, and you're right. They are siblings of the male I called 50% blonde. I forgot their mother was the blonde female and father was 50% blonde, so they would be 75% blonde. This line tends to develop striping near the tail.
I should also have mentioned that there are striped forms of bimaculata too.
