We live just north of Milwaukee, WI in the village of Germantown. I just found this laying in the closet of our Master Bedroom, shortly after the dog came in with mudy paws, shortly after it just rained. I see that it is commonly found in Texas and Florida and would expect to maybe find it here in the summer when the climate is similar to theirs, but it is almost October. Is it common for this region? I have attached an image of the beast. You will have to excuse the photo. As I tried to place the creature on the paper for a photo and spread him out, his/her (have not yet determined sex) head fell off.
