Wow, that was fast. I looked around. Never saw one before. Obviously, I've lived a sheltered life. You're up, kid.

Those ugly buggers are all over my back door in the summer.

I'll be offline for a while, so if someone wants to jump in with the next critter, feel free.

I knew it was a sea slug. Just didn't know what kind. Looked up "white nudibranch" on google. Found it fast. Very Happy


How about this one:

From the form of the nose, I'd say a Greater Noctule (Nyctalus Lasiopterus):
