RE: Nature Identification Thread #21- Now Paying out Steem Basic Income Memberships to Participants!
Four in one! One is a ladybug, but the other two critters are mysteries to me. And then there is the plant.
These were found in Mörbisch, Austria in July. This is an area very close to the Hungary border and close to a very large lake, so there is a fair amount of water around.
Hello! The middle thing looks like a common slug? Does that seem right, or too small?
It is too small and the wrong shape to be a slug. It has a more flat body with sections. I uploaded a big picture, but in the comment it is reduced to just a little part. If you right-click and open the image in another tab, you can see the full resolution.
Ah ok cool. I had to try as it "looked" like a slug...
Thanks @yvesoler...
Perhaps Peucedanum ostruthium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peucedanum_ostruthium or Chaerophyllum hirsutum https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chaerophyllum_hirsutum or some of the 'Umbellifers' like those https://www.google.com/search?q=baldaszkowate&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiV5szPjtHcAhWICMAKHe69CWYQ_AUICigB&biw=1280&bih=673
Masterwort looks right, Peucedanum ostruthium. Any ideas on the two critters?
tried to find it - to no avail so far.
Insects are always the trickiest given their large numbers. This is why I suggested the iNaturalist project. Then we could put together the power of a Steemit with all the naturalists in the world.
Ok how about this... I looked at the higher res photo.
Seems like some sort of beetle.
The Common Rough Woodlouse, or Porcellio scaber?
It looks like a beetle of sorts. Does this seem roughly right @yvesoler?
I hadn't thought of a woodlouse before. I am not sure if it is exactly the one you mention, but it is definitely in the family. Fantastic!
Nice one! Cool! Thanks @yvesoler. Hopefully we can start to narrow it down!
