Re: Jun's Favorinus mirabilis ?

Dear Bill,
I saw Jun Imamoto message [#11813] about Favorinus mirabilis? from Japan. I think that the lower photograph is Favorinus japonicus and that upper one is F. pacificus. The rhinophore of F. pacificus looks in in general like a simple stick. Compared with the rhinophore in the lower photo which has a large swelling - and this swelling might become 2 or 3 as the animal grpws like in F. japonicus. I think the two are the same colour because they have been eating the same eggs.
Sincerely,
Atsushi Ono

Dear Atsushi,
Jun's message suggested that the photos were of the same animal but your interpretation certainly make more sense. I'll move the message to the F. pacificus page.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
