Submitted by: margotellen
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I found it on my porch just sitting there last night, not moving. My boyfriend almost stepped on it, very well camoflauged. we left it alone but this morning I found it on its back, not moving, I thought it was dead. But it wasn't. I got a piece of paper and flipped it over, it looks to be injured. I don't know if there's anything I can do to help it, or feed it, or put it somewhere safe. Please help.
