Surprising find- a Horsehair Worm in the snow at 6,200 feet elevation! What is it doing in the snow? Wow!

Collected in pitfall trap. Gordian worm from cave weta

Found in pool. Collected for AU museum.

In the burrow of a long dead and decaying stenopelmatid.

Snow/Ross's or maybe a hybrid. Bill looks long enough for snow, but gray near base and vertical basal edge more Ross's, relatively small body size as well.

Found it next to the creek

I noticed several Jerusalem Crickets floating in this puddle, and another busily drowning itself. I did not have my microscope with me, but did my best to get closeup photos of the worms' ends.

A freshwater sponge??
