Last night when I was staking out my tarp I noticed a small hole near where I put one of my stakes. Apart from inquiring “Anyone at home?” I didn’t think anything of it. This morning when I came to pull up the stakes, I found this chap in-residence. I later saw another hopping around. There might not be any running water about, but it seems the ground stays wet enough for these guys to survive. That also explains all the toady racket after dark yesterday.
