Observation date: June 20, 2019
Submitted by: Nikol
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Rode in on my back when I popped out into the lighted porch to see what the dog was barking at. My daughter brushed it off my back. It was very sluggish, but crawled around a bit and grasped the edge of the paper. We put it outside and it was gone a few minutes later.
