User's notes

All crawling across the pathway. Sadly, the one in the last two photos seemed to be injured. It was in the position as in Photo 4 when I first saw it but it then began trying to crawl away. It seemed like most of the hind legs were paralysed and it was only using perhaps only the first seven pairs of legs to drag itself along. A couple also perhaps squashed on the path.
