SOOO @Lisa.Jok what you are really saying, is that you want to claim a record for a new species, the Clancy Stager, (maybe Homo dolus) but you want me or someone else to risk embarrassment by putting it out there?

Or, given the location, this may be an escaped pet, or descended from a pet, with the colour having resulted from selective breeding.

When there is a large population of rabbits in an area, the rare colour forms can be evident. When rabbit density is low, rare colour forms are unlikely to be detected, but they are still present. So if you see a rare colour form, it may be that you came across it by luck in a low density population. The popular sayings that unusual colour forms result from inbreeding and that rare colour forms prove rabbit density is high, are both likely to be myths imo.

In my experience Orgyia (Teia) has denser webbing on her cocoon and lays the eggs in a clump, not evenly scattered all over her cocoon .
Anestia (genus)
