In between then and now, there was
45.79.aa.bb - - [27/Jul/2017:05:12:52 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 841 "-" "elefent/1.2 (web crawler; crawler.elefent.net; webmaster at elefent dot net)" 
... and two more of the same thing within the next few hours ... and-that's-all. Huh.

That looks like the same UA but marginally different IP. Still Linode, though.

Some webmasters avoid talking about the elefent in the log.

I'm more concerned with the elefent in the room.
