Coordinator notes: NBD has this type of phenotype. SBD has a much deeper reddish-brown venter. (Ideally, to document a SBD in a northern state, the specimen should be collected and the 'tails' examined by an expert.) The SBD should eventually reach Pennsylvania in good numbers as the average overall climate changes. Keep watching.
