Photos / SoundsObserverarthrovertsDescriptionLone workers were observed amongst rocks after nightfall, before this trail of workers and majors was found traversing a wooden pole laying flat. They were indifferent to being photographed, but rarely stayed still.
Temperature was in the low 80s°F. No observable moisture was present. Thanks, Arthroverts |
