notes This collage of three of the animals in this series shows some of the color variation that exists within local populations of this species. Although there is much local variation, the animals from one locality show a set of spots, shapes, and sizes that are on-the-average different from other localities. This color polymorphism is presumably genetic in its basis, and probably controlled by a number of genetic loci.camera Canon QL/FT & 90 mm Vivitar macro lens
