Found in water, along the edge, in the south fork of the McKenzie River. Really no clue. About 2 inches in diameter. Indented in the middle on one side; rounded on the other. Very soft and slippery. Help with ID please!

Saw this guy at the river at CCFC. He/she seemed to be dipping down to the surface of the water repeatedly, kind of like how a female darts about laying eggs on particular plants. Any idea what this behavior is? Just getting water? Finally came to rest on the rocks next to the water, probably pulling out minerals. I could get very close then.

Maybe a quarter inch long, could it be an instar to an adult leafhopper or it’s own thing?

Saw this guy on dirt road at CCFC. Looks like an asp to me. Very leery of these fellows, having had one very painful experience with one of them.

Was moving a stack of lichen covered branches to be used for firewood. He was underneath the stack of wood. Thought he was dead at first because he was so still. He was not!
