Found inside empty mussel shells in mud next to a pond
Found barely alive on the bottom of a slow moving creek
Found in the rocks of a slow moving creek
Found this little guy besides a creek on the sandy sediment on Table Mesa west of Broadway. Not sure of what it could be... Maybe a larval form of some Gastropod?
If anyone has an idea, or knows, it would be greatly appreciated!!!
Temperature was in the high 40's and overcast.
Found this Annelid beside a creek at Martin Park which is just off of Broadway in Boulder, CO.
Temperature outside was 49 degrees and overcast.

I know it is not the invasive New Zealand mud snail as this snail is right handed instead of left handed.

these chewed up crustacea bits were found near the creek. I didn't recognize what creature they were from. any guesses?

The creek was closed due to the invasive snails. I didn't actually see any.
I found a claw and a leg. I could not find the whole species of the crayfish. It was along the shore or in shallow waters. The color was blue.
The water's edge was muddy.
Many shells were abundant along the shore and in the water. I was able to find two that were alive. The water was about 6 degree C. There was signs of human disturbance, like trash and dogs.
Found this empty Gastropod snail shell on a rock on Table Mesa, West of Broadway. Temperature outside was 49 degrees and overcast.
Found this (possible) Milipede on a rock next to a pool of nonmoving stream water on Table Mesa west of Broadway. When I picked this little guy up he stopped moving and it looked as if it "played dead", and thought I was a predator. Temperature outside was 49 degrees and overcast.
Looks like a butterfly larvae, but I'm not sure.
