Chamblee, DeKalb County, Georgia, USA
June 7, 2010
Size: 1 inch body

Speedy V!
Your fast response prevented me from going back and adding a link to the other submission! (I always find it satisfying to see multiple nice images pop up from the same area at the same time, demonstrating a solid population in species that are hard to monitor.) Though it may only be for my enjoyment, here it is:
