With apologies to those others whom cringe at anthropomorphizing - here's Marilyn, our fantail darter (I guess) she (I guess) finally came out and posed long enough to get the camera app up and snapped!

It's pretty interesting how different those striped fantails look compared to the barred ones I see on the Atlantic slope. Cool fish!

Different species now Derek. I know there will be more splits in the near future but the one near you is humerale now, I believe and the one down my way is brevispinum.

I'm brand new in this - actually caught this one by accident: came up in the net with a crayfish I was aiming for. I really appreciate the input and opportunity to learn.

Good to know! I knew brevispinum had been split but I was under the impression the others still had subspecific status. Do you happen to know where I could find the papers?

And to think, after much research, last week I had finalized our new official list of native or naturalized fish species in Virginia. I guess in this field, there's no such thing as "enough research"
