Here is a look at another Ky specimen. This one from a lowland area with nearby wetlands. Black kings from this type of habitat generally are heavily patterned. My observations in Ky has been this is more related to habitat than anything else such as region for example. Not just a few random observations but rather based on hundreds of kings I have seen over the years. Anyhow, just thought you guys might find this sort of thing interesting. Phil
