Exploring the Leaf Litter: Backyard BioBlitz Ep2
Join me for episode 2 of the Backyard BioBlitz as we continue exploring the incredible diversity of life right outside our door! Starting with eight species from the previous episode, we uncover even more fascinating finds in the leaf litter and logs of Alabama.
Highlights include:
A Webster salamander, an adorable amphibian hiding under the leaves.
A pretty pink millipede and a speedy ground beetle.
The tiny lip tooth snail, covered in bristly hairs and rarely observed in the wild.
A pine cone snail, only a few millimeters wide and easy to overlook.
A charming jumping spider with big, expressive eyes.
By slowing down and carefully sifting through the forest floor, we discover hidden creatures and learn about their unique features and behaviors. From beetles to snails, this journey highlights the incredible biodiversity of our backyard.
Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more exciting episodes of the Backyard BioBlitz! Who knows what we’ll find next?

My immediate reaction: "that's a gummy worm"
How amazing! 😃 And how interesting are those monitoring structures! Hopefully, people focus on what this clip is teaching us, instead of politics... 🙄 (which by the way, should REALLY not be at odds with education).

I don't know why but I still think that the salamander which I don't know the name in English but I know in Latin it's called salamander salamander is prettier with its black and yellow body
It is adorable
<3
They are weirdly wonderful ! Thanks !
Thankyou, very helpful.
Where can i buy it, ? Even a small
Great video! Thank you. I’m trying to understand posterior / anterior directions
Posterior is behind. Anterior is before.
Which species of Diptera was the first one?
I'm not sure! I don't know much about Diptera identification. Any ideas?
thanks bro
No way sea silk is connected to the golden fleece legend. Sheeps hides were used in the ancient Colchida and in Georgia up to XIX century to gather gold sand from streamy mountain rivers there. Locals just put hides onto the stream bed for a month or two and then took it with gold sand entangled in fleece.
Loved this content! Keep it coming.
its an earthworm... but underwater... and peanut?!?!? damn nature crazy xd
good video, it was great👌
Beautiful information 🙌
What a beautiful walk! And a wonderful well organized collection! I will explore your website. Keep going!!! 😊🐚😊
Fascinating, nature is a wondrous thing...Thanks
Amazing! Can I use this video for my artwork footage?
Can it swims?
My favourite limpet-like is a keyhole very boring and white hit it with a blacklight tho and it glows pink
✅ clean audio ✅ good production value ✅ not ai this channel deserves more views
How amazing!🎉
Tusk shells are amazing mollusks and this footage is amazing!🎉
nice
I genuinely love the videos from this channel!! As a budding ecologist, id love to make fun informational videos like this someday and seeing other people do it so well is heartening. Cant wait to watch this channel grow!!
You might prepare a talk and display and see if your local library will let you present it for Earth Day, etc.
The footage you got of the larval marbled having a snack was incredible! Nice work.
Thank you!
Hi while searching for a bit of rather obscure and odd information I came across your channel. Would you be willing to speculate on how a slug would act in zero gravity? If say it was in a jar on the international space station how it would function or move around.
Haha alright I can try. I’d imagine a slug could deal with zero gravity quite well. Their large foot is like a suction cup that lets them climb up, down, and even upside down on surfaces in gravity so I think they could cope with no gravity and move around fine. The challenge would come if they fall off a wall and are floating in open air in zero Gs. In this situation I think they would elongate their body as much as possible and move their head up, down, and side to side looking for a surface to grab on to.
@SeahorseandCo That is about ten times more info than I have been able to find up until now. Thank you. I'm writing a fantasy novel, and one of the races in it are essentially slug centaurs.
his lips tho
Ohh cool
I recently learned that a fully grown adult won’t die if bitten, rather have a couple of days feeling terrible… it could kill a kid tho

Are these tigar salmanders?
No, I didn’t find any tiger salamanders on this hike. The spotted salamanders and marbled salamanders are closely related to tiger salamanders though as they are all mole salamanders!
Keap going bro
Big fan of this mate
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Wery nice
