Notes:
Found at the pond when I was a kid. I would often find mud turtles strolling along the bottom edges of the pond or under the crossing bridge where bullfrogs and bronze frogs would be calling. They were one of my favorite things to catch, I'd just sneak up along the edge of the water with my fishing net and scoop them up before they noticed me and swam away. I would catch a lot of baby slider turtles in the edge lillies this way too.
