The Highlight of 2024... and probably the last decade...
I had the privilege of finding a clutch of O.vernalis eggs (Smooth Green) and filming one hatching from start to finish!💚🐍🥰 So. Amazing.

Myxos are aliens I SWEAR.
This Hemitrichia serpula was found in the Spring of 2024 and here it is... Just barely but still persisting in late October!
