Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This little guy was crawling on my son's slide. We have red maple trees and ceder trees in the front yard. We also have pine trees too. There is corn planted across the road and barley was planted behind the house. The slide was next to the sand box. We got the sand from the back field. There are pine trees and a few other kinds of trees back there. This little guy was very calm. He did not curl up or try to run away.
