Field Notes

Description:

This is a large female with no visible offspring or eggs. She appears to be in good condition--solid abdomen, active, responds to stimuli as expected.

Habitat:

Found in my finished basement, likely entered the home from the back yard, which contains a permanent stream.

Notes:

Captured (temporarily) in the basement of my home. Released to a stream behind the house.
