Great find with the pair copulating, I really like the look on both of them too. I guess those alterna are pretty neat ;) -Kyle Thanks Kyle! Yeah I g...

Evolutionary Psychology is a legitimate science, but it's young and in an underdeveloped stage of progress. It isn't reducible to just a buncha thought experiments in the minds of academics. Neuroscience and psychiatric methods can test the hypotheses of evolutionary psychology.

After you've found a bunch of them in places where they do not overlap and where there's no question of the identity, you'll be much better skilled at identifying them when they are found in overlap zones and even between hybrids between them and other Crotes such as viridis.
