Size: 15mm

When: may 2nd, at 11:30pm

Where: a slightly drier part of Costa Rica, on the pacific coast, in tamerindo. Was found walking on the kitchen counter.

Appearance: She has a little bit of a narrow head, and a yellow and brown striped gaster. Looks like a campanotus a little bit.

Behaviour: Ran around very fast when I first caught her, seems to be very stressed in a test tube setup. Went into a death curl so I put her in an empty water bottle with a couple water drops. After she looked and acted healthy I put her back in a test tube.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
