Centipedes and Slugs and Sow Bugs, Oh My!

Today we looked near and next to the creek under and in logs to see what critters take advantage of this moist, protected habitat. We rolled logs, pulled up big rocks and moved leaves. What treasures we found! Those shiny trail leaving mollusks, the slug, were in abundance. We found many sow bugs and pill bugs as well as ants galore. Some termites had done such a good job on a log that it fell apart when I tried to roll it. The kids saw ants carrying away some termites and spiders making homes nearby. Worms were quick to be sighted. A big find was a big healthy millipede.
