    Re: Best time for stalking

    really... right after a rain eh? Very interesting...

    The funny thing is... I live in rural northern Michigan... on 10 acres actually... and I've only seen one this year... the one I now have. I would have thought I'd see LOTS of them. In fact, I thought catching one would be a trivial matter... which it definitely wasn't. In fact, the one I DID catch (and still haven't named), was right at the edge of the driveway and didn't run... it was dumb luck on my part.

    The new female (Matilda) I definitely sought out and captured.

    I'll have to do more poking around up here after a rain. Makes sense really... worms come up after a rain.

    I bet a lot more of them saw you. They are masters of camouflage. They blend into their surroundings. Sometimes the best thing to do is to sit and watch for them to move.
