Field Notes

Description:

Awesome. I see these every other night around here. Started seeing them late June. It's mid August now.

Habitat:

I live in south west Missouri, near table rock lake. It's mostly oak and cedar, very rocky and hot and humid.

Notes:

I actually watched one of these hang out with its egg sac under a rock for about a week. The babies were tiny and totally white.
