Definitely the most intense red-orange wilderae I've ever seen.

Looks like wilderae from Mt Mitchell, NC. The males there are especially vibrant.

I'll get some more pics of the whole wilderae later as well as a pic comparing other specimens from the same locality. They are from Rutherford co. It is interesting that only the males get the real nice color....has anyone seen a nice looking female wilderae?

Nice pics, Erik, getting me all nostalgic... Can't say I've seen a female wilderae as nice and vibrantly colored as that male, however, I did see some rather orange and attractive (but really, what wilderae aren't attractive?) females in the Smokies a few months ago. Unfortunately I didn't stop to take pics as they were a dime a dozen and the main target in the seep were adult P. r schencki. 20/20 hindsight though, yeah, I wish I had stopped to photograph a few.

I'm headed back over to Mt Mitchell next week, I'll see if I can get some pics of the genders together. Unfortunately of the 60+ pics I took a few weeks ago on a trip between Smoky Mountains NP and Mt Mitchell, only about ONE(!) was worth a damn. Awesome trip though. I collected a female wilderae east of the park that is about to pop with eggs.

That has simply got to be a semi National Geographic© or Discovery Channel© type picture here! Absolutely wonderful!
And I need a better camera....

Try opening your eyes
Other than that, I have no clue.

Well Erik, I have never seen one as red as this guy and wasn't even aware they could get as nice. Should have been looking to find some of these too on my Appalachian trips
The D. quadramaculatus are awesome muscled blocks too. I really loved to find these too hiding under the stones. So these shots bring back sweet memories (and that I want to jump on the next plain feeling...)

I have two male that nice I caught in Sept. and two females. The Fem's are gold rather than vibrant orange. If I can figure out how to post a photo I will later.
