What odd life forms have you found near your home?!

I say these weird sulgs thing under a log in my back yard.....

Are they actually slugs?

The ones I found were in an irrigation ditch, sounds like they can live anywhere there is a little water and sunlight

I read something about them really blooming with magnesium in the water.

The nostoc! They grow better in the dark with glucose and casein! Even weirder!

hmm I'll have to keep my eyes open for some of those guys...really like the idea of species that reproduce via binary fission. Just seems SO cool.
