ID help needed please

[Bev N]

I'm posting this for someone that needs help getting an ID on this guy.

He lost the female and would like to find another to replace her.

Looks the infamous A. sp' "Steel Blue" to me. Here is a link with info. Your friend might have a lot of trouble finding a female.

Thanks Bob. That is what I had told him I thought but I wanted to get the pros out there to weigh in.

I'll let him know what he has to look for now.

Thanks again.

Hi all,
I think it's a "Blue Steel" too, and a very blue one.
Not sure about the rock in the background either, looks very limestone like.
Shame you're in the US, a local garden centre/dept. store has some genuine females, selling at £11 a pair.
cheers Darrel
