>>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.

>>Here is a mating pair (locked up this Nov. - before cooling) from your blonde line. I think you have called these 75% blonde.

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.
