U. audouini?
Enormous, I could have put a saddle on it and ridden into town!
It must have emerged from the woods on the other side of my narrow road. Walked across to the other side, then into the weeds along the edge of my pollinator meadow before I lost track of it.
Clay/sandy, rocky soil. Surrounded by woods with a creek.
Took 96 shots, so there are plenty more to share if a different angle/section needed. I couldn't ever swing around for face pics because he/she was always running away from me.
.... wonder what it was pursuing before I approached and upset the applecart...
