Sphenophorus - Sphenophorus mormon
Fish Springs, Juab County, Utah, USA
May 26, 2020
Size: 12 mm
I am pretty sure this is a Sphenophorus. Very similar to S. cicatristriatus. I need help with the ID. I cleaned most of the dried mud off this specimen before photographing it. I noticed that many of the photos I checked out show dirt stains on the specimens. This one was just walking on the dirt when I found it.
