G. Insculpta

Hi all. Relatively new to the forum, but trying to get my feet wet so to speak. I dug out this pic of a North American Wood turtle I found back in 2000 in Beaver Co. PA. I have been in this park dozens of times since and have not see one.



Wondering how fast this species is declining as they technically don't even show in our range anymore within field guides.

A great find coupled with the discovery of the troubled situation of a wonderful species.
