ID for the plausible parasite as well?
This earthworm had a forked tail! Any ideas or comments as to why are very welcome
Found wandering around in my garage, this isn’t a male (female/juvenile) so I’m not sure why? I had it in a temporary enclosure until the sun came up so I could secure better pictures, here’s a long video of it walking and making a temporary burrow:

Hundreds of bristle millipedes trying to burrow into a spider’s egg sac
Aquatic. Found attached to some willow moss.
Stuffed with cut leaves?
Male human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis.
Found in a ponderosa pine seed, no leaf mining tunnels, nor seed deformation, just a single hole with a seed full of frass.
A unique spherical growth on this otherwise normal looking young Pondie.
Dead bird found wedged into a part of our roof, 2 skulls, 2 wings, 1 ribcage, and a lot of feathers and miscellaneous bones. All of the insects found with it have their separate observations, but are included in this one incase they can help with the ID or decomposition timeline. I believe this bird (or birds) got into this part of the roof through a panel warped open, and became trapped, although I’m not sure why there are missing body parts and extra body parts, if anyone could offer an explanation it would be appreciated.
