Took a walkabout on our property this morning, thought I'd share. As spring & summer approach, I will update this thread.
Big red mites that I believe to be a Dinothrombium sp.
Margined carrion beetle (Oiceoptoma noveboracense) larvae feeding
This is exciting for me, because my intent in placing a dead opossum there was to bury it & attract these guys for a colony.... Never got to burying it. But now that they've come, I'm planning on digging & putting a small door over top, to maintain a natural feeding pit. Basically setting up an outdoor colony in the ground
Lovely gal hanging out in a pile of dead bark...
Dolomedes tenebrosus
