I know this isn’t a good focused account, but I can highly recommend the veggie burger and onion rings at @streetmeethhi . I am stuffed and am taking a box home. #parttimelocal #hiltonheadohio7 hours ago
This was a new critter for me. Gonatista grisea, common name grizzled mantis or lichen mimic, is a species of praying mantis native to the southern United States, primarily Florida. #parttimelocal #hiltonheadohio9 hours ago
So how often do you see a deer walking around a parking lot and wearing a collar? Apparently quite often on Daufuskie Island, SC. #parttimelocal #hiltonheadohio1 day ago
I was a bit worried about finding things when today’s scheduled beach program happened at high tide, but we still managed to find some neat critters. One of the young ones scored a major find with a Spiny Jewel Box (Arcinella cornuta), a shell not often found on our beaches here. Way to go kiddo!! 👏 #parttimelocal #hiltonheadohio3 days ago
Echinoderms are a group of marine invertebrates that includes sand dollars, sea stars, and sea cucumbers. Although many are not spiny like the sea urchin, the name echinoderms comes from the Greek for “spiny skin,” Echinoderms share a five-part radial symmetry, like a pie cut into five pieces. Some species of sea star have the ability to regenerate lost arms or even regenerate a whole new sea star from a single arm attached to a portion of the central disc. Regeneration is possible because each of the arms contains parts of the vital organs including the digestive tract and reproductive organs. The first photo demonstrates regeneration of limbs, while the second defies the five-part symmetry, because in nature, there is always variation. #parttimelocal #hilronheadohio3 days ago
