I ran across this little guy (well, BIG guy actually) while I was out for a walk today. He was hiding from the sun on a rug thrown over a fence. This guy was pretty good sized – about 2" or maybe a little more (body only). The photo doesn’t show it very well, but its hind legs were extremely long compared to the others. I’d love to know what it is. He was a very cooperative photo subject.
