Couple of Poecs

[Metalman2004]

picked up a couple of CL ts today. First is a 4.5” P regalis and second up is the skinniest little P formosa I’ve ever seen. What do y’all think?

Has the regalis just eaten? Whats the whitish area on the mouthparts?

Thanks for the reply. Regalis’ body does look short and stocky/ male like. I can barely see what I think is the “poec” button, but just barely.

Can’t remember if I fed the regalis before or after the picture but I think it was just reflection from the flash. I checked this morning and there is nothing out of the ordinary there.
