Field Notes

Description:

It kept raising its abdomen and then flattening back out. I put it on a piece of paper and put it outside, but it just flipped over on its back (I think because of the direct sunlight). I put it in the shade and it ran off

Habitat:

Inside my house. Suburban neighborhood

Thanks triggsturner! I thing it might have gotten a little scared because of the light.
Great series of a hard to photograph critter, esp your first one. They are usually so quick!! :)
