Lol! Roundworms are 'orrid. One of our lecturers - a parasitologist - told us a lovely story about a student who'd had a few too many one night and as roundworms can't cope with the high levels of alcohol they tend to exit through the nearest orifice....so this chap sicked it up and actually put it in a jar to show it to her! Ha, that's commitment LOL.

I've seen a positively foul pic of roundworms in humans, but I will not put it up on here, I'll get told off....

just google Ascaris lol

You sure you didn't find them on Chris?

Just for you Stevie

Pectanogammarus


Mite of some sort


Random beetle


My largest sandhopper


Oh and this is one that accidentally got cooked in the oven when I was baking sediments lol




If there are are any insect experts out there feel free to help me identify the mite and beetle

the light brown one looks like a animal tick too me im no expert mind.

yeah, its possible. Lots of dogs on the beach. However he was alive before I pickled him so tis likely he was living buried in the sand, but I have no idea so have to hunt about searching for lookalikes lol.

Lots of insect experts on a wildlife forum I'm on #tootles off in that direction#
