Metapenaeopsis sp. 1
50mm

These were commonly exposed on the slopes near Tulamben at night. It is possible not all of these are the same species.

From their darker color, those below may belong to the one we are calling Metapenaeopsis sp. 2, although they all could be variations of a single species.

More from Kuanji, Melasti and Sidem in November 2024.
