I sure thought this was a centipede, but you can count the legs per segment. This was in the Founders' Grove in Humboldt State Park.

One of the kids spotted this one. She knew it was a stink bug, so I looked it up just now for a more precise name. Seems like a green stink bug.

Another creature that miraculously survived a stampede of curious children. This slug was creeping along the redwood leaf litter near Burlington campground. It responded to movement within 12 inches by withdrawing its eye stalks.

I saw this snail in the salt flats near the elephant seal breeding grounds at Ano Nuevo state park (CA). It was fortunate enough to evade being crushed by an entire 1st grade class marching right over it.
