Description:

Spotted in Chattahoochee National Recreation Area, GA.

Habitat:

Occur in a variety of habitats, which can range from low-lying floodplains to wooded hillsides. They are a fossorial species, meaning they spend most of their lives underground and out of sight. Occasionally, they can be found under rocks, logs, and even trash (e.g. a discarded car wheel). They breed in fishless, temporary wetlands and vernal pools.
