Found this in the remnants of a bag a grass seed from last year. It seems completely desiccated.
My best guess is that this is what we call a worm snake. I can't imagine how it got there unless it came with the bag. The bag has been in my garage since I bought it.
We've got a lot of these worm snakes on my property. They're smaller than a lot of earthworms I find (that's engineering paper, 5 squares per inch).
It's actually the best when the ducks find one of these.
They eat plenty of earth worms, but when the find one of these it fights back, wriggling all down into the crop.
Then the others catch on and try to steal it. Chase ensues. So much fun that a visitor who witnessed it commented.
Anyway, if your chicken says "vegetarian fed", remember that chickens are not vegetarians.
They are tiny dinosaur monsters.
Reverse. Grass seed in mouth for scale.
We need banana, as per tradition
I always get a little sad to see a dead animal, but this is really well preserved. I don't know if you could do much with it, but it feels like a waste to just trash it.
I have a kindergartener. I plan on getting it to the class somehow.
I can't just put it in a container in his backpack. It'd break. I'd definitely let the teacher know, but I'm concerned about my science overbearingness.
I already suggested that they need to do things for the spring 2024 eclipse (and I'm not sure about that one).
I wonder if you could put a coating of lacquer to keep it preserved and prevent it from falling apart
I thought those squares are floor tiles.
I would've said dragon then.
I don't even care about votes. It'd just be more correct.
