A quick note that this species produces a toxin, and the amount of it varies across its range. Unfortunately I can't find data on the toxicity levels of the Whyte Lake population. The toxin is usually only harmful if ingested, but some individuals do report skin or eye irritation after handling.
I did not experience any symptoms after being near this or the other animals I saw today, and the ones in my hands are only there after swimming up to me.

Absolutely stunning find - I can't believe my luck! I've only just started finding this rarely-observed species, and here two of them are, mating. I don't think I've ever found millipedes mating, let alone this species.

My friend took this photo of a coyote sleeping on his patio. The coyote looks very relaxed.

Lulu, our Southern Flying Squirrel eating a Periodical cicada that made it into our screened porch. I'm guessing there will be a bunch of fat squirrels running around Anderson this year.

Inside receptacle (puffed out end of thallus) of rockweed - looks like nest of hyphae, and where fungal hyphae meet the rockweed cells, it looks like fungal haustoria within the cell?
Could this be lichenized rockweed? (Other examples of this: Mycophycias ascophylli lichenizes brown seaweed ascophyllum nodosum) See also Verrucaria observations in the area and this paper https://www.jstor.org/stable/4123679

Photographed on the hairs of my own arm. I don't know when I picked this up; the location is where I was when I noticed it.

I spent a while on Cycadlist.org trying to find a match, but vanishingly few species were listed as existing in Peru. Z. urep might be local but had no photos, so I can't compare, and Z. encephalartoides is an Andean species and looks visually like the closest match. I wish I'd taken closer photos!
