#Inverterbrates

There are worms down there! New blog post: https://wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2025/05/tubes-of-sand-tubes-of-glass.html #VancouverIsland #Inverterbrates #IntertidalInvertebrates #MarineLife

On a sandy beach, three small worm tubes, built out of sand, stand alone. On the sand, there's a dusting of brownish alga fragments, and near the top, a blade of brown alga and a good amount of torn green sea lettuce.

Here's another velvet worm from the same night walk. This one looks like it's waving.

Kia ora!

A photo of the head and front legs of a velvet worm. It's a pudgy brown and purple invertebrate with bumps all over its skin.
