Submitted by: jcm
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found this beauty under my carport. It stayed in the same location for most of the day from 9am to close to 4pm and then fell from the wall and stopped moving. I assume it was at the end of its life cycle since the specimen itself was in great shape with no damage.
