In vegetable garden soil. Maybe a match for this one also in Spokane, a California Broad-necked Darkling Beetle? https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/122241479
@carabid_47, if you are still working on your website, maybe you could add a search for keywords -- in this case larvae? Thank you.

I was planning to upload only one observation per species on our property, but I hadn't realized how dramatically coloration and pattern can vary for some. I've already uploaded a plain buff cat-faced and a mixed white and dark brown one. I've read that orbweavers can change from lighter to darker in winter, and also develop certain colors depending on their habitat. But the three very different color variations I have encountered -- they were all in the same area of our yard, and all in September of last year.

In the house. My favorite kind of spider -- it holds still for photos.
VENTRAL photo: what is the white stuff (kind of crown shaped) at the top of the abdomen?

Tiny, see Q-tip for size. Too delicate to maneuver onto my mm tape and to turn upside down.

After having a bite from a cat-faced hurt for a few days, I was hesitant about handling this one for better photos.

I hesitated uploading this one because the eyes are not in good focus, and this is before I figured out how to take ventral photos. But I haven't had a similar one visit me in the house since.

Hundreds (thousands?) of holes about 1 1/2 inches on a 3-mile trail. The only comparison I could find between mouse, vole, and shrew holes is that the vole hole is "dime size".

Sorry, I'm too squeamish to get a photo of its underbelly.

Drops in ventral photo is water. (I forgot to dry the sink bowl.) But it clearly shows "something" that has to do with genitalia, although I haven't a clue what it is.
This guy/gal was fast! If I hadn't been chasing it down the empty hallway, it would have found a place to hide.

Only one, in the driveway. No others on the nearby trees & shrubs. It was hard to hold on to -- a vigorous wiggler!

Many of the ponderosa pines in my 50 year-old neighborhood have wounds oozing sap. But I have yet to see any larva, so don't know which borer species are doing the most damage.

In the basement, next to the slider. This is a guess, based on the colored iridescence.

I looked at Lasius (iNat's AI suggestion) in @critters_pnw key but I don't know enough of the terms and didn't get macros of the head. Disturbed when I moved a boulder, they were moving sooo fast.

Although I don't often see them, I heard their chirping often during the spring and assume they nested in the large mass of juniper.

What a gorgeous insect. I've seen it only one time, and that was on the bathroom window!
Released outside unharmed.

iNat suggested only "Plants." Surely these old photos aren't that bad.
