User's notes

From the same area as sighting 4372778. I picked up the silk covered leaf from the base of a rock with webspinner tunnels shown in the last image. I put it on a nearby rock and watched the insect moving around inside its tunnels before it eventually emerged briefly for a photo and then retreated again.
