OK, this isn't much different from before, but ohmygosh they're just too cute.
We've been tracking bat data (roosting behavior, weather, call activity (AR4s)...) and usually put a check mark for 1, and 2 for, well, 2. We keep hoping maybe we'll see more, but that seems a bit optimistic.

This morning when we checked it wasn't really clear. It's dark in there. It looked like one big lump so we put a note (BIG!) but I checked again when we had a little bounce light in there this afternoon and it was definitely 2!

As ever, if you want to follow our reforesting and organism tracking, you can do that here. It's all available for free.

Videos were recorded by me.

Bigger than it looks, Leg span like 4x the size of a large whitetail - found outside my bedroom window I'm selling the house goodbye

Heyyyy all . What kind of spider is this please ??

Asking on behalf

I thought with winter near I won’t see crawlies but need help identifying this one. Thanks much.

Was getting rid of some stuff out of the garage and this bloke was underneath it. I dunno what kind of shape he’s in… was very easy to catch

Discovered this little cutie seeking shelter in our wood shed.

I thought maybe it was some type of flatworm?

Edit: Did some research, I think it's a Sugden's Flatworm (Fletchamia sugdeni)

I didn't kill it, I found it like this.

They were between 1-4cm long and there were hundreds of them all along the beach.

Plus my silly kererū sticker at the end lol
