CITY NATURE CHALLENGE 2024!!!!

Okay maybe I'm excited because I can finally stop doing IDs until my eyes cross, but also maybe because this was the BIGGEST CNC EVERRRRRRR.

I even wrote a journal entry about it for our Monterey Bay Area CNC project. Dig this shit:

Hundreds of thousands of By-the-wind-sailors (Velella velella; which are an unusual floating colonial athecate hydroid) just blanketing Asilomar this morning 🤯 They're making the waves *thick* with their doomed corpses. There was also a bonus Gulfweed Crab (Planes minutus) hanging around.
