Ok so @Anesthetist told me to post here. It's the caterpillar of a goat moth apparently.

@Seul Goat moth what a name!

@Heavy_blue cool snail. I hardly ever see them in the wild. Certainly not in the desert.

@Matt they are around here a lot these days

From my daughter’s field trip last week.

[Oaktavia]

@SKT pretty cool looking dude there!

[SKT]

@Oaktavia yeah and the pic doesn’t really show just how iridescent it was. I think six spotted tiger beetle but not certain

I am too…

[Oaktavia]

Oh my hahaha

[sabergirl]

But, was it alive?! Forgive me if I missed that from the article.

[Craneman]

@EdH he's got a bug up his ass

[EdH]

@sabergirl I thought so, but now I'm not sure - the article refers to it being able to 'escape' digestive enzymes, but that's maybe a bit ambiguous...
