Show & Tell
2014 Striped Tessera and Striped Amel Tessera. Note the dorsal ground-zone width between the dorso-lateral stripes on the non-Amel? We’re not yet certain why some have the narrow dorsal ground field while others are wider like this one. Most Tesseras with the wide dorsal zone have stripes that wane from neck to tail, while most of them with a narrow dorsal ground field tend to maintain their dorso-lateral striping from head to tail-tip. As with all morphs/mutations in corns, there are exceptions to most pattern feature norms within any given species. Bonus Pic . . .
