Show & Tell

Here is one of the two 2014 Hurricane Anery Motley corns that hatched this year with geometrically rectangular dorsal patches between markings (I shared a brood shot of this one with siblings on May 16, 2014).  Since only two of the eleven eggs yielded Motleys with these non-ovular zones between markings, there is a strong likelihood that they are the result of a gene mutation.  Future breeding trials will tell the story.   Bonus Pics . .
