Field Notes

Description:

Big, brown colors and next to impossible to flick off of clothing. Large segmented shell. I am a big guy with big hands, so you can see how big this is...

Habitat:

Found him clamped onto my shorts while hiking the Johny Horn Trail near Coral Bay, St. John. U.S. Virgin Islands (http://www.seestjohn.com/trails_johnny_horn.html). A dry upland forest
