A curious little millipede, probably in the Caseyidae family. I always love finding creatures I've never seen before!

A small Arion slug doing acrobatics atop moss spore capsules. I don't often see slugs reaching such dizzying heights!

A beautiful newt (Taricha granulosa) that I encountered in the forest earlier this week. Newts and salamanders are among my favourite groups of small animals, and I'm always thrilled to come across one.

Orchesella villosa is one of my favourite springtails! They're quite large (up to 4-5mm or so) and very fuzzy looking.

One of the leaves of my Drosera capensis, a carnivorous plant that has helped control the gnat population in my indoor garden. Saw it catching the sun and figured it deserved a photo!
