We found this planktonic creature floating. It ate a piece of a squid mantle when put in the same bucket with our bait. What is it!!!! We are thinking a type of mollusc as the mouth seemed and moved like an elongated radula, and there are spots resembling photoreceptors.

A fun sequence! This wasp dragged an apparently paralized larva (ID TBD, separate observation) across the trail. She put it down outside the burrow and went inside, then in one quick move, pulled the larva inside (diameter of burrow exactly the same diameter!). She squeezed past and exited, then filled the opening with rocks and dirt. Presumably laid an egg down there. :-O

Three smaller bombus flanking a very large bombus (see index finger for scale). Perhaps the smaller ones attacked the larger one and they all died in a fight? Any experts know what could have led to this strange outcome?
