Nisquallia olympica female

Nisquallia olympica females range in color from dark slate gray through lighter gray, mottled brown, olive and rust. Some of the color variation may be related to how recently they’ve molted.

Image 6 shows the ventral side of a female, shot through the wall of a plastic terrarium.

The Rehn paper includes two photos of a female. Helfer contains a figure, probably drawn from the photo in the Rehn paper.
