Repeat Weather

Indeed I would say today’s weather was a repeat of yesterday’s.

On my walk this afternoon I was strolling along slowly. Well that is what I usually do. 😉 I stopped for this thalloid liverwort in the path.
A Ruby-crowned Kinglet was not interested in posing.
Why stop at this pile today. I don’t know but I did. LOL.
Then I carefully worked to find the entrance hole. There it was. Then I dug it up with my tool. However I came up empty. So I tried five or six others and still nada.

Even smaller castings further down the path. I dug up two or three more of these smaller ones.

And by now if you regularly view my blog you know I will watch about anything. After digging several more, eureka! Come on now have you ever seen this happening? LOL. Approximately 161 species (116 native, ca. 45 introduced) of
earthworms have been described from North America north of
Mexico (Reynolds and Wetzel, 2004). The native earthworms
are found generally in the southeastern United States.
FYI, I have not a clue if this one particular one was native or not. 🤞🏼

To top off my afternoon walk a Small Milkweed Bug (Lygaeus kalmii) was scurrying in the grass!

Beautiful day!

  1. Interesting that the spiders left their home to die in exposed areas. Poor spiders, but then there’s something out there to get all of us.

  2. Beautiful corals – such dedicated researchers. Videos are cool.
    Watch out for those crazy snake worms – had no idea there were so many kinds of worms
