Horrible photo, but this is the best I could get before it fled. At first glance thought it was a hellbender, then saw it had hair so a rat was suspected. That is until it showed how well it swam. It went from these rocks to under a large flood pile of logs & sticks. It was very slender & long.

Leaf rolls on Aesculus flava were collected on May 17, and the first of two moths eclosed on June 2.
This is likely the undescribed buckeye eater described by Microleps.org that is very close to C. negundella.
