There were some very big toads (not frogs) up Professor Creek. Thye were really strong and almost jumped out of my hands. There were also toad bugs there. They looked like toads and hopped like toads. 
I found this strange yellow beetle being eaten by ants. It looks like a dung beetle.

This is a slug my aunt & uncle found on the Oregon coast. They said it was about 6 inches long. Thanks for the picture Ty and Bre!
We found some glow sticks for our river trip, put them on strings and made them into some sweet glowing poi.
This is a Ten Lined June Beetle, Polyphylla decemlineata, members of the Scarab Beetle family. The grubs are pests on peach trees, devouring the roots. The adults eat pine needles. They are attracted to lights at night. They sometimes make loud squeeking noises when handled. The top picture is two males mating with a female. there were thousands on our grass a couple of days ago.
Thanks for sending me these neat pictures Todd and Ash. My favorite one was the big caterpillar. If anyone else finds a neat bug, send a picture.
This is me catching a hellgrammite (corydalis cornutus) on the river trip.
