Observation date: October 28, 2013
Submitted by: Lisa Nicholas
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This fellow was big -- at least 3 inches long. He moved steadily across my patio with an inch-worm motion. In the photos, his head is on the left (in case the false eyes on the rump fool you). I have no idea where he came from or where he was going.
