    Seed shrimp (ostracods) feeding on a dipteran in a rapidly drying puddle in a Berkeley backyard.   The seed shrimp seem to readily scavenge anything in the puddle from decaying vegetation to animal matter like mosquito larvae and this drowned midge.
    The coast horned lizard (Phrynosoma blainvillii), A flat bodied lizard that is found in chaparral habitat where it feeds predominantly on ants, development and the spread of nonnative argentine ants are its main threats.
    A particularly dark northern pacific rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus) basks after eating a large meal.  Mostly hidden under a log only a portion of its body is exposed. This allows it to thermoregulate while remaining safe from predators.
