| It's actually BETWEEN the eyes, which is why they call it intraoccular. It's a darker triangle like if you drew lines from the median eyes to the two sets of lateral eyes.
It's also like the opposite of H. arizonensis who has a lightened intraocular triangle. _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blog Be nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |

| Yes! There's hope yet. I could have done that with the picture but I'm so lazy I'd rather just make fun of you.  |

| It's more noticeable in some specimens than others. It's pretty noticeable in these ones:   And less noticeable:  I think your problem may be that it blends a little into the stripes immediately behind it. (haha, I did an image search for "vittatus" and the first results were a dart frog species I saw in Costa Rica.) _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blog Be nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |
