Ok, so I’m becoming a bit obsessed about these little guys. Since little is known about them, and we seem to have an active population nearby, I’ve decided to catalogue all the individuals I encounter. Unfortunately, I mostly see them around the house where the exterminator has been, but when moved out to the lichen encrusted woodpile, they either recover, or are otherwise spirited away. They seem to be quite hardy, and I’ve read that they play dead. Fascinating. So this is the start of my catalog. I’ve documented four individuals over three years, two of which were found in the last week. I say individuals because they all have a different carapace pattern. The next question: do they change pattern when they molt? I’m hoping that answer is no, but I will add it to my study questions.
