Apparently coming from pond towards oak woods west of pond. Bright sunny day, no clouds. Road slightly moist from fog + dew. This specimen + all taken Nov. 17th were covered with particles of sand as though they had just emerged from burrow. Soil around pond + road edge sandy. Caudice? Ericakia collected were not sandy + may have been active earlier this season. There had not been any rain in the region for several days. Ground + leaf litter were moist but not "dripping wet".
