Another extreme close-up of one of my best friend plants, Selaginella! This is Selaginella scopulorum (Rocky Mountain Spikemoss), which was a new species for me this year.

I love finding these weird cool little ant-loving beetles (Pselaphinae).

One of many beetles we saw in the Okanagan, this one is probably Liotrichus umbripennis.

Not the best photos, but I was very excited to find this Sminthurinus quadrimaculatus in the field!

I was surprised and delighted to find this unexpected Tetrix ornata (Ornate Grouse Locust) back in May.

A tiny snail. No idea what kind, except that it's very cute! Love these things.
