Outside of mine I've only seen a handful of other examples IRL and then occasionally online. The black and gold area on yours is incredibly well defined, very uniform, and the gold goes straight to the edge where as I've consistently seen lineaged ones with a more broken/irregular black area and a margin that blends the black/gold/green into the skirt.

At this point I don't think the strain is well traveled enough for us to know how prone they are to morphing or presenting differently (think hallucinations or utter chaos/utter peace).

I will say my buddy @Grossman90 had gotten a 'wild' strain of marvin's that were non-lineage and bore a resemblance to yours. I'll attach a pic of that strain for reference. I can grab a pic of my lineaged marvin's if that would be helpful.

Thanks for the help. I also think that my zoa looks more orange than gold and the pattern is a bit too defined as compared to lineage marvin.

Got them from a local lfs and he doesnt know what zoa this is. After looking thro different zoa website/pic, the closest match was marvin

Will be great if u can attach a lineage marvin pic for comparison.

Looks like the ones i got that were sold to me as marvins but weren't.
