Field Notes

Description:

Brown body with a single white dot on the back.

Habitat:

Found it on me, and flicked it onto the atv I was driving. Mostly oak forest with sandy soil. Find these guys on me daily and though I really hate them, they still don't need to be killed. Useful for the environment in some way I'm sure!
