Wolfsnails are predatory so it might be sleeping off a big meal I suppose. It totally could be dead though.

dirby posted:I'm in the Maryland area. Is this spider something that likely came from the yard outside? It seems large enough that I wouldn't expect it to live in the house. That’s some kinda wolf spider, they’re roaming hunters so it probably got in and can’t figure out how to get back out

Sushi The Kid posted:https://imgur.com/a/xo4p57K Square head, white lip says pantherophis to me. In your area I think that makes it P. spiloides Ed: the pattern is weird but that genus is known for exhibiting lots of pattern variation, their cousins the corn snakes are bred for it even.

McGavin posted:That's because that one is a baby. Adult crested porcupines can get up to 60 lbs, making them one of the largest rodents in the world. North American porcupines are about the same length, but only half as massive. I had no idea that species got up into Europe Edit: “Crested porcupines have been known to collect thousands of bones that they find at night. They are mostly nocturnal, and they may wander upon the skeletons of many animals. They collect these bones, and store them in an underground chamber, or cave.” WHAT

Alright this one’s stumping me. SW PA, under wood in mulch in my yard. Thought it was a roach nymph at first but I don’t think that’s it. Has chonky back legs. Seemed to be interacting with these ants, rubbing antennae with and all. Absolutely refused to stop moving for a photo.
