   Jeff Gaskin reported a Cabbage White from Maddock Avenue, and Kirsten Mills saw one at Panama Flats, both on October 22.

 

Another collection of miscellaneous animals from Colquitz River Park photographed October 16-22 by Ian Cooper:

Dark-bodied Glass Snail Oxychilus draparnaudi (Pul.: Daubebariidae) Ian Cooper

Grey Field Slug Deroceras reticulatum (Pul.: Agriolimacidae)  Ian Cooper

 

   The next one is a very dark slug – darker than is usual for Limax maximus.   But we can’t think of anything better, so that’s probably what it is.  If anyone thinks we are wrong, please do let us know.   It has been given a variety of English names:  Leopard Slug, Giant Garden Slug, Great Grey Slug, etc.

 

Probably Limax maximus (Pul.: Limacidae)   Ian Cooper

   The woodlouse below is Porcellio certainly; almost certainly P. scaber.

 

Porcellio scaber (Isopoda: Porcellionidae)  Ian Cooper

   Quick! –  What is the insect below?   Well, of course you all knew that it’s not an insect at all, but it is a springtail of the Family Entomobryidae.
