  • The specimen was found under a small rock that also had a nest of the ant Pachycondyla sp. under it. I spotted the specimen coming out of the ground after I finished collecting the ants. When I placed the onycophoran in 95% etoh it sprayed out it's white, defensive secretion, which immediately hardened in the tube [per MGB, collector]
