Observation date: May 31, 2020
Submitted by: Teri Nye
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Two snouts landed on my bicycle grip while I stopped along Huguenot Pkwy, McCormick, SC (on the Savannah Valley Railroad Trail). The sipped sweat off my hand and grip, then stayed on when we continued on the trail, hitching a ride on my handlebar for just over 2 miles before deciding to fly off at Moss Ave, just before Willington.
