While living in California, I've had the chance to see a lot of new and rather cool things. Growing up in Colorado, I'd never seen a live, wild praying mantis. Nor terrestrial snails. Nor tidepools.
I did see a lot of mushrooms and fungi, but never on the scale seen here. This pile is visible from the main road into base, and has been growing for a couple of months now. I meant to go take pictures around Christmas time, but didn't manage it.
And because silliness is a good thing...
Kitchen ant explores!
Explorer duck shows the way

Great pictures! I borrowed the top one for my blog and made it psychedelic.
Mushrooms are awesome. Did you manage to identify the species?
Ahh, I waited too long on those metal dragonflies. They sold out. I'll have to wait for them, I guess.
Bummer! The dragonflies are available from amazon.uk as well as the other kinds...We'll see how long I can hold out.
And no, I haven't id'd these yet. They're just so awesome and huge! I'm probably going to walk back down and take more pictures--I neglected to check my camera before leaving, and it didn't have a memory card in. On board memory bites.
They're back in stock! Or, they were yesterday. I'll put in an order when I get home tonight. A little worried about customs and such (planning on buying a sun jar and a moon jar too :P) but ah well.
They also have that wood louse (?) back in stock, if you wanted to try that one!
