Field Notes

Description:

My back yard in Texas.

I saw this little guy inching his way across my porch railing. After watching him for a bit I thought he was so pretty I had to take a picture so I could draw him later.

Welcome to Project Noah, Linda! I agree with Sarah about the ID. Nice find! If you haven't done so already, please have a read through the FAQ section for general info on posting and such. http://www.projectnoah.org/faq If you still have questions, feel free to stop by in the chat :-)

habitat just means wherever you found this particular one. You can update this spotting with common name and scientific name now by clicking edit. Also this belongs in the arthropod category.
