[QUOTE="minard734, post: 225031, member: 5888"] But floridensis has different bodily proportions... And I am well aware of this. That is why I posted this... I just have trouble believing this specimen to be any of the 2 species. I really want someone to consider this... There has been more than 1 of these and it is really impossible for a true carolina to get this big. I know it sounds like pure exaggeration but just look a the size!! all specimens of this look have been 65-71mm. Kind of long, huh? Not quite as big as floridensis but bigger than carolina. Just look at the tenodera sinensis (smaller specimen at about 90mm) below it! I need yen to come look at these again. This is not my specimen. I didn't believe it till I saw it in person. If I get the ooth, I will try and rear some of these and provide a few nymphs to curious forum members, if you guys are interested :) . [/QUOTE]
