Field Notes

Description:

Not going to share exact locality info on this guy - they're aren't particularly rare but there can be dozens covering the patch of road where this individual was found and I dont want to be responsible for someone getting lots of green on their car tyres.

Habitat:

Prairie, sawgrass, palmetto.
