Field Notes

Habitat:

Mostly encountered indoors in damp areas such as bathrooms, cellars, and crawl spaces. It will venture beyond these areas and is often seen quickly scurrying across floors or climbing a wall.

Outdoors, they live under logs, rocks, and similar moist protected places.

Notes:

Found in my bathroom shower just before my day off to school.
