Notes

While digging the side of my house to plant some succulents I dug up what I thought was a worm which made no sense because the soil was so dry and then I realized what it was. I tried so hard to catch it and when I had it in my hand and walked over to drop it in a planting pot to voucher it was gone, unfortunately having squiggled out of my hand. I would love to voucher one of these - it doesn't even dawn on me that they exist ever. Super disappointed - this is right in the middle of South Central Los Angeles.
