August 27, 2022

I am a Leptofreya ambigua
In Florida, I am not native
I came (or was brought) here from South America
I'm tiny and fast and somewhat evasive. 

(Note: To get a feel for how tiny this guy was, that is my wrist he is on, and those are the holes in my Fitbit wrist band in the first photo. In the second photo, he had crawled off my wrist into a tiny crack in a fence post.)

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Fellsmere
