You know, I was looking at the pic this morning thinking the same thing. And it was caught in a bucket at the corner of drift fence array, so this individual probably did just arrive late to breed.

Matt, this individual is clearly different from 40288. Also appears to be gravid still. Looks like you have "leaky fences"
