Spent a little over an hour mostly looking at two oaks with low branches, snapping pics of galls and critters on the leaves and branches. Also brought an old peach to see what I could attract.
All of my observations from today:

in the absence of a trunk or stone to lean on, a capybara may be an option;

lloyd_eslerDescription
This is the greatest concentration of insects I've ever seen. Springtails in the Invercargill Estuary. Could be ten million or more in this patch and other patches along the beach. Really weird.

Long-horned Amazon Ant (Polyergus longicornis)Observer
aperturesciencebydanDescription
So, this is a polyergus bilateral gynandromorph! ½ worker caste (red), ½ alate (black). The mandibles, eyes, single wing, and antennae are the more obvious caste traits reflected in each half of this individual. Found them shortly after leaving the colony possibly (I found one a few feet away).

Googly-eyed Glass Squid (Teuthowenia pellucida)Observer
luca_dtDescription
An amazing glass squid. When I disturbed it it would tuck in its tentacles and eyes, and even its fins and show big spots. So cool. The area around the brain was brightly iridescent. There are very faint long tubercles around the mantle if that helps with species id.
Really hard to get nice shots with a compact camera sadly.
~2.5cm long
