Science may have answered the question some time ago but it makes sense to me that if the big red one is alternans, it might be not announced from the formal scientific end. Many don’t care about the hobby in the way we do here, more into taxonomy, getting excited to get a dead pede in the mail. Not my kind of review, “The centipede showed up nice and dead, perfect!” So can’t you see somebody in a lab say, “aaahhhhhh, dangit, it’s alternans after all.”, and just throw it away. Not much motive in announcing something that’s already been described. It’d be nice if it is a diff sps, just sayin.
