Field Notes

Description:

Female is about 5cm long, and male about 3cm from head to the tip of the abdomen; cryptic colouration in shades of brown and grey, with a somewhat conspicuous yellow "horn". The female has a pale stripe running down her flank, from the eye to the tip of the abdomen. Any ID suggestions welcome.

Habitat:

Scrub in the Ecuadorian Andes, at about 2500m above sea level. These pictures were taken near the meseta "pachamama", which I can't find on any map.
