Another Brown

Today I went to an area I had been before that had a strong population of T. Radix but I only found this one Storeria Dekayi. The park service has made this section I field herp in more pleasing to the human eye so they cleaned it up...thus destroying T. Radix habitat. That bums me out honestly. And I am not a tree hugger, but to make something asthetically pleasing to humans that is a very minimally used back section of a park is not good stewardship of the land. And it is sad how little thought for herp species is given by most Park Services. I also came across a really brightly colored catepillar of some sort. Don't know what it was though. Here are a few pics...
