Polymorpha color variations

[Anthony Jensen]

Thought I would post some polymorpha color variation pics. These pedes were on opposite sides of the trail less than 2 miles apart. Are the greenish/olive colored ones polymorpha or castaneiceps. These were found in Prescott,AZ. I will be going out to locate some more again soon so I should be able to get better pics.

Cool colours. I must say, that first one looks strangely like my new Ethmostigmus rubripes.

Both polymorpha. You won't see castaneiceps that far west, just arizonensis. A bit north of you in riparian habitat you can find viridis.

Do arizonensis come up this far north in AZ? Do you know if there are any range maps anywhere for the heros sp.? Thanks.

I've seen arizonensis just north of Sedona
