Outside temperatue was in the mid 60s and it had been raining. I found these guys sitting on the trail I was hiking on. As you can see they are planted in a sunny spot. I actually stepped over them before noticing them.

Close up

Nice finds! Thanks for sharing your pictures Kyle.

Kind regards,

I was in Northeastern AR. In some areas these guys were so common you could actually see them dart away as you drove down the gravel roads during the day.

Nice! good to here about strong populations.
This morning I saw two red-sided garters flat as a pancake on the road, it's a waste to see that, but a least I know they are still in the area.
