A gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer), it can be found in nearly every habitat type in the Bay area. Adults feed largely on rodents although small birds may be consumed, juveniles often feed on lizards.

The mouth parts of a drowned mosquito provide a convenient perch for a springtail (Isotomurus).

Seed shrimp (ostracods) and mosquito larvae mingle in a rapidly drying puddle in a Berkeley backyard. The mosquitoes will soon metamorphose and fly away whereas the seed shrimp will lay eggs which will remain dormant until the area is once again inundated.
