Field Notes

Description:

Black, six-legged thing, with red accent marks, and very fine white velvety fuzz.

Habitat:

Found in backyard lawn.

Notes:

While being photographed, it dropped off a big droplet of what I can only assume was urine. The photos of this, however, were embarrassingly blurry and are not included.
