The pale dorsal stripes are only visible in a strong light. Animals can be identified from good photographs or specimens preserved in alcohol.
Animals can be preserved in 70% alcohol, after a few seconds in hot water to kill them in an extended state.
The animals are best photographed on a wet roofing tile or similar flat, dark surface. The wet flat surface encourages the animals to extend and the dark colour allows strong illumination to show up the weakly reflective dorsal stripes.
