Observation date: April 24, 2018
Submitted by: Rachel Ruckman
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Mating, moving very little. One clung to my finger when I was weeding shining geranium. Startled, I shook my hand, and they were there on a piece of wood in the sun near the woodshed. We have recently brought in new (wet) seasoned wood to the area. This is the warmest day so far this year with sun yesterday and a few more warm days to come.
