This is Weird


Jeany was digging for clams on the Cape when she came across this grody looking beach worm. Animal? Insect? Vegetable? I have no idea, but Mike G said that he used to use them for bait, and that they can actually bite. Nasty.

I might be fabricating this memory, but I think I recall those things from my own seaside childhood. They aren't vegetables, they bite HARD.

That's a clam worm! They do have a nasty bite, but are excellent bait.

Look at Ginny with the big brains. Now if you could just identify the camping caterpillar.

We saw this camping at Lost Maples last weekend. I'm pretty sure the species is Heterocampa umbrata.
