Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It moves quite quickly, and it was found in a path in the middle of the woods. I found it interestingly colored so I took it to my home where I tried to look up its species, but to no avail. It was a warm sunny day (about 75) and it was nearing sunset when found
