Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found on a warm morning on the underside of a rug hanging to dry. I moved it off of the rug and it clung to my finger, I was able to move it to the grass, after it didn’t move I ended up moving it into an area where it wouldn’t be harmed by the dog or birds.
