I thought he was pretty too, Marta. I spent a lot of time with this little guy. He was not very fond of having his picture taken!

Thank you, Bill. I'll be on the hunt to identify it:)

Beautiful little jumper! Reminds me of a zebra jumper, but I'm not confident with that. It's markings a really distinct, so should be able to find something!
