Field Notes

Description:

Brown ground beetle with dark markings on top. There were a handful of these in one area but I couldn't find any more. It's named after the plant that it's usually found near but this location was nowhere near the riparian habitat that contains Tule.

Habitat:

Under a cow pie in the grasslands of Ramona.

Notes:

First for Project Noah!
