a little lady decided to visit the bathroom sink! She was moderately cooperative for photos. Two of the photos show her cleaning her antennae.

what a chonker! Photos 2 and 3 show a piece of lichen which had already fallen off the rock - no material was removed for these photos.

Neohermes filicornisObserver
velodromeDescription
CV-suggested. Seen in the mine. Only living organism spotted there, and only a single one this time.
When it swam, it moved almost shrimplike - going in the direction of its tail as opposed to the head.

brysonzhengDescription
Did not get a count on dorsal rays. Either a kelp or bay pipefish, probably the latter.

Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus)Observer
velodromeDescription
Two trees about 5 feet apart, each with one tall hole and a couple smaller holes. Both dead trees show holes from multiple types of wood- or bark-boring bugs. The holes have long scrape-like marks along the edges. Woodpecker holes? Did a woodpecker make a hole that some other creature later scraped out further? Why the tall and short holes?
