Field Notes

Description:

Anyone have any ideas on what it is?

Habitat:

Found crossing a trail at about an elevation of 5,500 feet, in the Coronado forest.

Notes:

Immediately stopped walking as soon as I got close to it; defensive tactic? Only one I saw that day, near a trail bordered by heavy vegetation.
