Notes
I followed a small dirt trail into grassy field. Found a spot where there wasn't grass growing tall and had shade, and sat down to rest and drink some water. This female was sitting right next to me. She did not try to evade capture and allowed me to pick her up. After examining her, I put her down and she did dart for cover.
Specimen did have some mites present on her body.
She's a very pretty girl.
