1200-1530. My family and I met some friends up at the Susan Creek Picnic Area, had some lunch, then hiked up the trail to Susan Creek Falls. No vertebrates photographed today, but plenty of plants and inverts.
At Susan Creek picnic area. Several flying around and landing on bathroom structure and on ground.
The leaves and flowers look like this genus. I key it out to M.stellatum, but I don't see a flower with rounded petals/sepals like this in my references; they're usually thinner. How often does M. stellatum look like this? Or is it something else?
I think I got this right? Let me know.
Plenty of it.
Leaves only partly out.
Leaves partly out.
Perched on, then flew from, Symphoricarpos albus.
Under log with Vespericola. Has slight indent on upper rim, otherwise this snail looks fairly shiny and green and without beading like Haplotrema vs Ancotrema. Or, are the faint spiral reflections I see on my first photo indicative of the beading pattern??? And, is this deflection on the palatal lip too much for Haplotrema? Yes?/No? Interested in feedback.
Maybe a soldier fly of some type?
Under log w/Haplotrema vancouverense
