2020 December 17

 

Jochen Möhr sends a photograph of a Ctenolepisma  firebrat from Metchosin.  This one lacks the four rows of pale spots that Libby Avis’s one of December 13 had.  That is why, writes Jeremy Tatum, I *think* Jochen’s  is Ctenolepisma longicaudatum, whilst Libby’s was L. lineatum.

   And here’s a globose springtail and a slug from Colquitz River Park, photographed by Ian Cooper:
