Jacob, let the exact species identification not be the most interesting question presently. It is difficult even for experts and sometimes impossible even with good photos.

We should learn more from a good description of the behavior, especially the interaction between male and female. And the general color changes of the male and (!) the female!

What are the body positions? Does the male visits a cave already? Is the female more active or more passive?

And Jacob – please don’t be offended by this – wouldn’t it be better you wrote your interesting postings in the American Forum of the project instead of the Global? I don’t know what Bill has to say to this issue. But I think we must push the American Forum a bit (just as the Asian, of course). The American Paro-friends should become more involved in order to establish a real “scene”, small in the beginning but highly motivated and interested. We Europeans read the American Forum too. For we try to help it to develop.

But I admit, Jacob, that there are issues of global interest, and identification is one of them.
