I found this little guy in the Spring, barely the size of a pencil. I don’t even photograph most of them from the amount that are seen, but this one had a tail pattern turned 90 degrees, resulting in a single black stripe running the length. I hope he lives long enough to see him again one of these days out in that spot.
