I’m currently working on sorting and categorizing 20 years worth of digital photos, and there are of course some photos in there I have no memory of taking. This is one.
That is obviously some sort of animal droppings, but I can’t figure out what those hollow segmented tubes are, even to the level of being parts of a plant or an animal. Any ideas?
Pellet from an insect-eating bird? I don’t know about the tube things, but they look insectoid, and the grayish thing near the bottom-left-of-center of the dropping looks like something in the woodlouse family (roly-poly, etc.).
The pillbug is, I believe, a living one having a snack.
Fair enough. Still–the tube things look like mealworm segments to me (or similar larvae). So it would not surprise me if it were a pellet from a bird that had a large meal of them.
They are millipede shell parts. Any idea where that was taken?
Yeah, had to have been on my property in South Carolina.
I was going to guess mealworm, but looking, I see you are right.
