Mutant E. javanica

This species typically has horizontal lines across the abdomen, but this specimen seems to have some kind of mutation/deformity. He still molts and moves around just fine, but he's got a very special pattern.
@EulersK It's a fairly common segment deformity, it's been recorded in many roach species, as well as Jerusalem crickets, millipedes and isopods. Doesn't seem to hinder them in any way.
