@cannizag Alright! I found my mess up in the key. I had a terrible time finding an accessory flagellum here as compared to that on Gammarus sp.

This individual has one row of spines on the 2nd epimeral plate, 23 segments to the flagellum and one tuft of setae on the back of the dactyl

Additionally I added a picture of the uropods, is the 2nd uropod that of a male of C. minor?

This specimen is from the same locality as this one

My friends, this isn't something you see everyday...I think I slipped into flower nirvana when I saw this.

Fasciated Canada lily, over 50 flowers on a single stalk; single plant in weedy moist thicket along railroad.

Common on open eroding slope.

Female plant, in heavy fruit. I had never seen this species in such spectacular fruiting display. Why not promote this species in the nursery trade? Easily as showy as any Ilex, and able to withstand poor, dry soil conditions!
