thanks Leuba,thanks for your kind words,in the end of the first posture,she was tiered and she stop in my camera shoulders belt,i could touch her she would do nothing,then i put her in a stone granite wall near a few brown leafs very similar to her so she can be safe during the resting period,a few days latter we saw 3 more postures in same place,so i think se survive,in a few days i'll make another spotting and i'll documents this ,thanks again for you interest Leuba

It is the stink horn season. You might see some unusual fungi.
I found this under the red wood trees.
