Two un-named Liberty Co atropurpurea clones (one rubricorpora- descended, one wild-type). Solid red head-to-toe; some yellow- green specs on lid. 8 photos (2021, 2023).
Standout traits
- Solid red head-to-toe even at trap opening (Mike's working atropurpurea definition)
- Small yellow-green specs on lid (sometimes fade with age, sometimes don't)
- Green interior similar to Waccamaw clone
- Second clone (post #2): wild-type atropurpurea (not man-made)
