Was all excited for the "big rain" we were to get over the weekend.  It only amounted to a total of 4.4mm over two days--not much to talk about.  It did make it wet enough for 40 or so marbled salamanders to leave the bay, but not much else moving.  It's sprinkling tonight and rumor has it it may rain tomorrow and Wednesday.  I'm not going to hold my breath.  But as I've said before we can always count on a ton of invertebrates to be at the fence.  We typically have a LOT of millipedes and centipedes in the buckets.  Today I tried to get a video of a centipede--they move really fast so it's not exactly in focus but at least it shows their  cool movement.  enjoy.
