Found under a rock at the edge of Emerald Glacier along Iceline Trail (2145 m). It appears G. campodeiformis is the only species of grylloblatid known in this part of the Canadian Rockies and fits the description of this individual. Approximately 1.5-2 cm in length (didn't manage to measure with a ruler). Photographed and also observed by @efarries. We turned over a few rocks and located one other, smaller individual.
Pair of MOBL carrying nesting material to cavity. Male has brown primary feather tips and some on the head. Possibly some Western Bluebird influence?
