Found under a log in heavily shaded mixed forest, photographed live, then collected.
Sikes (2019) lists only two species of Japygoid in Canada, Occasjapyx americanus and Evalljapyx saundersi; a Parajapyx is also mentioned, but expected to be a misidentified E. saundersi. No other species are predicted to occur. From Allen (2002), given the macrochaetae are barbed, and trichobothria are present on antennal segments 4-6 (most visible on 6th segment in second last photo), this seems to best match Evalljapyx saundersi.

Kayaking in the Broughton Archipelago. My Westcoast marine life knowledge is limited so I'm hoping someone can identify this creature. Approx 5' in length. Squid of some sort?

Walking along the waterline from Pipers lagoon to Departure Bay my 4 yo daughter spotted a dried out sea horse in the rocks that may be below water at high tide.

Small, abundant over spruce needles, the greenish white thallus (?) is making me think it's lichenized and not just a parasite.

A highlight of my wanderings on the Itatiaia NP trails - Brechmorhoga goncalvensis which was formally described in 2021, formerly part of B. lepeaca sense Santos as noted by Kompier (2015). The third photo through the wing shows just enough of the hamules to help confirm the ID.

Stalked yellow cups growing off of dead Cephalozia, Riccardia and Scapania spotted by @bradenjudson. Read about a deer urine loving fungus and wondered if this could be it as it was on a urine patch

I am not sure if this requires too much of a leap of faith for the identification. It visually matches this species very well, but I know there are some species that look similar. There is no ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) in the area, but there is shore pine (P. contorta var. contorta). This species is known to infest other pines, including lodgepole pine (of which shore pine is a variety).

In steppe, near the edge of saline pond. Originally thought Tortula brevipes but the awns should be smooth and leaf margins revolute. Doesn't seem to fall anywhere comfortably within McIntosh (1986). Unsure if Tortula or Syntrichia. If Syntrichia, I keyed it to S calcicola calcicola which doesn't make sense (not known from North America). Doesn't match up with the saline endemic Tortulas (nevadensis and heimii)
