SS: Already on website. Female. Laid a cluster of small, oblong-shaped sapphire blue eggs. I wonder if all the white individuals are males; and all the cream coloured ones are females. The egg-laying was the first evidence that I got separating male/female.
JD : Beside the colour, there are other differences as well. Holloway in MOB mentions other species with similar facies.
iNat has a taxon - Scopula pulchellata agg - https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes?taxon_id=1078857
Maybe we need to do the same here for MOI.
SS: I will publish but add a note about this possibly being a species complex.
