Observation date: May 13, 2019
Submitted by: Lumidae
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I found the insect crawling on the sidewalk. It was sunny and around 65 degrees, I believe. I noticed it seemingly spit up a clear liquid of some sort on my hand. It was very active while I was handling it. (Also, sorry the image is upside down. I don't really know what happened)
