Found pretty close to three baby ringneck snakes in my yard while gardening.

Guessing octopus was 4-5 feet long. Pulled up by fisherman - fortunately, only hooked on the edge of one arm, and quickly released with little evidence of injury.

Intertidal.

Juvenile

Squid eggs on beach

credit to my friend Bethany for finding this beast and a half

eating an unlucky gopher snake

Found parasitizing Upogebia pugettensis. I assume the larger one is female and the smaller a male of the same species.

Black widow male

1 of 6 seen within a couple meters, 2 males 3 possible females and 1 unidentified

Many among Sarsia hydrozoans

shaded oak woodland, under serpentine rocks

Really just guessing at this nudibranch ID, the other I considered was Hermissenda opalescens
