Extremes in appearance

[Hollis_Steed]

Out of the several T.e.vagrans I saw yesterday, these two were interesting to me because of the extreme difference in appearance. the larger of the two, which appears to be a male, is very melanistic with slight pattern visibly in his black body. The smaller of the two, which appears to be female, is very light colored and heavily checkered. They are both quite different, visually, than my T.e.vagrans female Jane. Interesting how there can be such variation within species/subspecies. That's one of the things I enjoy, no two are exactly alike.
