Discovered in very litoral zone of pond at early spring. Oblique illumination used, set of objectives is 10x and 25x. My bet is M. armigera but I'm not sure because I seen just small amount of stylets in my short life. What it could be?

Not entirely sure if this really is iridovirus, but it was strikingly blue even at a distance. If it is indeed iridovirus, I’ll make a separate observation for the host.
Tiegerschnegel ? Ernährt sich carnivor von rohem Fleisch, das unsere Katze übrig gelassen hat.
Amazing fight of 2 dedicated salamanders, trying to wrestle it out. Completely unbothered by my presence and strong light. After watching this for maybe 10-15 minutes, I gently separated them by 20-30 cm, just to see them going for each other again! I guess they needed the rest of the night to find out who's the winner...

Mouse was so focused eating, what i believe was ice cream, that it was possible to get with the front lens of the Sony FE 20 mm f/1.8 extremely close (around 5 cm) without any reaction from the Mouse than continuing eating.
Maybe a plagiostomid.

Lots of males and females in this pool. Females were brown not blue, all 2-3 cm long.
What's going on here? Are the small red mites babies or parasites??
Ok who had the spray can? Found mostly on the dead spruce but also on the bark of the living spruce.

I have a 100 gallon tub of water near my house so wildlife can drink. Just as it was getting dark a short while ago something caught my eye and this small White-tailed buck came to drink. Somehow this fella got a plastic jug caught up in his velvet antlers...I hope he can get it off. I had to chuckle at this sight, however, something I had certainly never seen before. Anyway, he drank some water then trotted away. Hope he will be OK!
