I still have to ask, has anyone here seen a splendida that looks exactly like the one in the picture? First wild caught, or natually occuring. Secondly, a captive bred individual.



ALso, I forget the exact terms, but if that animal is called a voucher animals. The next step to validate that locality is a series. There is a name for that too. hahahahahahaha



The series is suppose to indicate that one animal is not an exception.



So if this picture is of a voucher, then it needs to be validated with a series. Which is hasn't yet. SImply put, thats all it is, nothing more.



With old records like this, its very common to see errors. The animal itself only indicates more work needs to be done.



If a series cannot be obtained from that local. then all you have is a unvalidated voucher. Remember, the terminology I used needs correcting(?) but the concept is correct.



Personally, I have never seen a L.g.splendida that looks like that. So it makes it interesting. Cheers and happy end of the world. Hmmmmmmmmmm if they knew the world would end, how come they couldn't predict the end of their culture. That should be on that calender.
