Notes
Numerous individuals were found around a dilapidated, abandoned military bunkhouse surrounded by discarded debris. This individual was found under an old mattress pad. While this individual is well within the range of the coastal subspecies, S. o. bocourtii, I am unable to distinguish the different subspecies, so I am choosing the more prudent course and leaving this at a species-level identification.
