#there was also um - don't read on if you're easily horrified maybe

welcome to the royal waterways!
In the springtime the storm drain pipe is now full of animals, which I will take this opportunity to document:
salamanders (eastern red-backed - Plethodon cinereus):
spiders (foliate orbweaver - Larinioides cornutus):
snails:
earthworms:
flies and rove beetles:
and last but not least, there was a special seasonal event occurring:
Girls’ night! ✨
#I realize that taking a photo at the transition between pipe segments makes it look like I was outside the pipe-#so I would like to clarify for my honor that i WAS several bodylengths in at that time. <3#there was also um - don't read on if you're easily horrified maybe#I didn't go to the manhole room this time because there was a small pile of raw flesh? organs? in front of it#I've learned that my hard limit is that i will not bellycrawl through viscera :|#i'm guessing a fox or something didn't finish a kill there..? no skin; unsure of bones (a light Something poking out);#just a glistening pink mass.#I saw it in the dark and shone my flashlight on it thinking it was a leaf. panicked when I realized what it was and reactively backed up#i ended up with one leg under my body and couldn't get it back out since the tunnel was too narrow so i was just stuck like that#chilled out in the tunnel for a few minutes playing HK. fought nkg. once i calmed down i wanted to approach the meat(?) again to investigate#but with my knee stuck under me i could barely move forward so i called it quits. now the curiosity has returned with a vengeance though.#there was a... mild odor of rotting flesh. i think the flies i saw in the tunnel were a bad omen.#but like! I don't know EXACTLY what i was looking at. it's driving me crazy now#(i went in because it started storming and i wanted to know what thunder sounded like from beneath a manhole. Safety<3!)#no thunder there was only the one before I entered :(#when I returned to indoor habitat i shook my head out over the sink before i showered in case anyone hitchhiked in my hair again -#There was a snail. An entire snail in my hair. small snail but. hello??#okay time for warnings gauntlet-->#real bugs#spiders#unsanitary#claustrophobia#<- MY HOBBIES....#*For my honor know that as usual i sanitized my body and clothing and belongings#i brought my cargo shorts into the shower to wash them since i just recently did laundry but i wanted to wear them again without Sewer Filth#and there was a caterpillar on them; the kind that camouflages as a twig; I think i picked it up in the forest on the way out.#I almost plucked it roughly or rinsed it off since i thought it was a twig but then i saw the baby legs. tossed both hitchhikers out window.#(onto grass. take care; friends.)#(my shorts can fit an entire flashlight in the pocket btw. buy men's pants.)
