Oh ok! Yeah, my co-worker said she has seen them in great numbers a few times before. Now that you know they are around, I'm sure you will see them more! I get so excited when I see one, as I've only seen a handful of them in my life. Thanks for the info and pics!

Actually, This is the first time I've seen them. I would have never noticed this little guy if my nature guide didn't point him out... I think if I was actually looking for them, I would find a lot more, but I didn't even know they were there! My nature guide said that they come out in many numbers after a good rain...

Very nice photos! I work with a girl from Pennsylvania and she says that they are much more common up there than in Georgia and other southeastern states. Do you see them often?
