Disclaimer: This observation includes ALL the photographs I was able to take of this particular organism. That may NOT include images of the entire organism, all of its defining characteristics, or the general area in which it was found. I am already aware that this may reduce the likelihood of a species level identification. If there is a specific part of this organism that is vital to its identification, please let me know and I will try to include it the next time I photograph it. Thank you.
