Field Notes

Description:

I know it is a bad picture but this little guy was so small it was hard for the camera to focus on him. The fuzzy part sticking up seemed to be his "tail". Very small, about the size of a fingernail. Bright white and not particularly fast. Had a few small feet underneath.

Habitat:

Found under a log in the woods.
