Field Notes
Description:
Unfortunately poor photo. Undersides have a pink blush.
Habitat:
This one was found under rocks on a steep talus slopes in the Columbia River Gorge. It is a terrestrial species dependent on late-seral forest conditions or combinations of rocky substrates, soils, and vegetation that provide suitable cool, moist microhabitat conditions
Notes:
This is one of the easternmost occurrences in the Gorge, as the climate becomes increasingly arid as one moved eastward.
