Saw some beasts at the beach

Nudibranchs aplenty. Eggs up the wazoo. Isopods abound.

Rockweed

[tooies]

it's called rockweed. it's a rare dwarven strain that grows in deep grottos beneath the earth and is commonly used by dwarven miners to pass the time when toiling away in the quarries for hours on end without sunlight or fresh air. those who use it recreationally are known as "stoners"

@digita1garden​ submitted: Secondary submission due to huge number of bug pics I accumulate. Various location in this post: the first six photos are from Oregon, the seventh is from California, and the final is my departed pet 🦵. He was my good companion for a year and a half and I miss him, but I still love millipedes. I would love ID’s particularly of the millipedes, as they are of particular interest to me.

Thank you very much, I hope you have appreciated my various bugs! :)

MILLIPEDE TIME. My favorite time, as it happens. RIP to your beautiful pet millipede, I hope he loved a long and leggy life. I assume you know the species on that one. Most of the others look tidal/marine, which is not something I know much about! Although I would like to bring attention to the BEAUTIFUL bright green rockweed isopod in the sixth photo. What a lovely little friend. Seventh photo looks like a Pacific sand crab probably? Idk again not my specialty.

As for the millipedes, photos 1 and 2 are a yellow-spotted millipede, Harpaphe haydeniana. Photos 3 and 4 (which I’m assuming are the same individual?) look like Californiulus euphanus!
