Todd writes:
On November 4th, 2015, I set out hunting an area of the Mojave Desert in Southeast California. As I was rounding my loop back toward the vehicle, I discovered this 18.2 gram individual resting in some decomposing granite on an alluvial flat. Its getting nice out here now that we have dropped below triple digit temps for good
