Dreams of Coloured Yew ...
This little fella got lost one day, climbed onto my foot and, weary of the trek across the great waste of concrete asked for hospitality from a fellow traveler and for me to point the way, since I am so tall and can see so far, he said.
How could I refuse? I gave him some colour to play in before feeding and watering and sending on his way, out into the wilds of the garden where he promptly dug down below the grass and into the soil - built for digging, he was right at home and soon disappeared from sense. Or in sense. Hmmm!
Could be she.

I've only seen it twice in two years, in the garden.

I can't find it now but I remember seeing the eye beneath the plate and it looked round. What you see is a small segment.
