The largest jumping spider I’ve ever seen, she’s a beauty.

Candy stripe spider

beautiful garter snake in a pond well-stocked with fish and bullfrog tadpoles, can't be sure of subspecies but fairly confident about species?

invasive bullfrog in an oregon pond

despite at first appearing quite dead, this sand dollar was still quite alive and as such was returned to the sea

Please ID! This anemone settled on a ceramic tile placed inside a marina in Yaquina Bay. It may not be Metridium senile, but may be a species not previously observed this far north.

these however, appear to me to be H. crassicornis

this beauty may also be H. crassicornis, but it was quite large and I thought looked a bit different. is it H. opalescens?

I'm somewhat doubtful this is truly a lion's mane jelly, but its bell size of nearly a meter makes that my best guess. please weigh in!

these dorids are SO abundant in Yaquina Bay

Hermissenda are abundant in Yaquina bay

more dorids leaving us some beautiful egg masses

Id please? looks a lot like the pacific sea nettle, but appears to be lacking those lacy frills and looks to have shorter tentacles

is it a dungie?

my favorite garden spider in Portland, this large (gravid?) female lives next to my front door
