I used to really like peer review as a learning tool but now I just get this stuff.

Students aren't being effectively taught that "we" is not third person

Found a polyphemus moth in the middle of the road, probably removed from leaf litter and ended up run over.

If you got leaf litter, find a good place to step it aside if you can, tons of cool animals rely on it to survive through winter

Anyone have any guesses?

Tons of these particles were found in the stomachs of fish after the 4th of July. None had them before that date.

There's a little bit in the water column as well. Most are VERY small <100micrometers. Very present in fish guts

Copper (II) Hydroxide?

Melanistic goby? I've sampled maybe 50 out of this location now, first dark colored one.

Took this photo of a baby water snake (Nerodia sipedon) snatching a baby toad. Very happy it posed for me 😌
