This was found in a stream sample. It doesn't look like much but it is a tardigrade shed with eggs. The eggs hatched and I have video of them hatching.
This was observed in a sample taken from a creek using a plankton net.
This isn't the best picture but you can see the appendages.
Found by a friend, dead, outside of her workplace. Workplace is near Jester King Brewery. Only one seen, though has found another in the last year.
We caught this adult just after it emerged from the pupa while it was still completely yellow. We saw the wings expand and then the color develop over a period of six and a half hours. The pictures were taken at 12:50, 13:38, 14:51, 15:25, 16:37, and 19:29. The seventh picture was taken at 10:43 this morning. It shows the pupa before the adult emerged.
I found this in my driveway near a UV light I put out. I took it inside to take pictures of it and is why it is on my desk and on my computer (smooth surfaces). I have never seen this before and so am not completely sure where to begin on the ID.
Saw this little guy, catching evening rays, on a rock in my drive way.
A horticultural escapee originally from South America. I came across several small patches of this plant in the vicinity. It has slender rhizomes and rough leaves. Another common name for this non-native invasive is Rough Verbena.
Found after a rainy night. Really pretty red tops with yellow stems. Growing out of old wood.
