2017 April 16--A Few Places up Little River Area (3 of 3): Wolf Creek Trail
1320-1550. I had not ever been up this trail and decided to check it out. The trail is wide and well-groomed, though muddy in places. The creek as well as the forest are absolutely beautiful. Most of this area is what people call "old-growth" forest, with scattered very large trees and very large dead trees (snags) and down logs. There were abundant wildflowers, shrubs, a few salamanders, snails, and other invertebrates. I was surprised to find a Canyon Live Oak here.

Shell texture/lines look a lot like Ancotrema sportella, but this shell seems flatter; there is no dip in upper lip of shell aperture; insertion of aperture high, not dropped at all. Any ideas/tips?

On bottom of Douglas-fir slab on forest floor. This species is what I get from this key: academic.evergreen.edu/projects/ants/TESCBiota/mollusc/key/webkey.htm. Not sure other similar species occur in this area.

I couldn't make any headway on IDing this one. Looks pretty distinctive though! Flying through old-growth Douglas-fir forest near riparian area in day time. Approximately 1 cm long x 2 cm wingspan at rest.
