Notes

Two days prior to finding this one, I flipped the same cover and found a male speckled king that was almost identical to this it (and a racer two hours before that). I checked photos carefully and this one has different speckle pattern, venter pattern and tail. It is female, a bit less bulky than the male, also. She had what appeared to be small red mites on her, the male was clean. Her tail was damaged beneath. She was docile, but would not be still.
