Observation date: July 22, 2015
Submitted by: Louis J. Cassorla
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I spotted this specimen on our deck. It was completely immobile and I had never seen anything like it. When I provided it with a twig to grasp on to, it did so, thus revealing that it was still alive. The weather was warm but otherwise quite nice.
