Observation is for the orange circles/discs. When I took the photos I thought they were fruiting bodies for the pale green lichen. I'm not so sure now.

lappelbaumDescription
Just emerged from nest. Triggered by heavy rain after prolonged dry-spell I think. This was the last one out. The others had already skedaddled by the time we noticed the soil disturbance.
