I coaxed him onto my hand. To my surprise he secreted a unknown liquid from an unknown orifice from his underbelly. So I sat him down on the lawn and went inside to wash off my hand. I came back out to show Rhonda, yet I had trouble relocating his position in the grass.i returned to mowing and saw him still waiting there. I gathered him up and replaced him on the rough texture of the walnut and called Rhonda over for a look see. Wish I could post an image!
