Right on Cody. There are some areas along the river that could use more records

I see both in it. It does look like an atrox, but it also looks like a ruber. Great find! I was just looking at the records for imperial county. To see if I can fill in any gaps this coming up year.

I don't know Cody.. Personally I think its an Atrox.. But I didn't key it out. I didn't take a good photo, and a few others think its a Ruber..
