Submitted by: glueyourfingers
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: These little guys are all over the place here during the late spring and early summer, though he's the first one I've spotted this year. Being WA, the area is dense with coniferous trees, but I couldn't say with certainty if that's what they live on.
