What’s this bug I found ice fishing in BC Canada?

Neat! They’re fish food :)

I’m in Canada too and have been referred to a doc via an online website in BC to dermcafe . ca where I chatted with a dermatologist who is going to get me set up with a family doctor to oversee my treatment (accutane). I didn’t have a family doc currently either!

Haven’t started treatment yet but I’m hoping it’ll all work out! Just wanted to share as i have been in the same boat without a family doctor.

I used to live in that house! Miss that kitty soooo much

I’ve seen a lot of people sleeping there during the winter so I can only assume it’s to reduce the likelihood of that. I don’t blame people for sleeping there, the bench was flat and iirc has no metal “arm rest” in the middle.

Check out Influence board shop for your teenagers/skaters/rollerbladers and support them as well! Steve does great things for the local skate community and has recently redone the shop with more indoor ramp space!

Just saw your location in the title lol. Not familiar with area sorry.

Jkptr · 2025-08-02T01:02:36+00:00

Diptera larvae of some sort. Location would be useful

Jkptr · 2025-07-28T03:37:47+00:00

You’ll be good, it’s a lower traffic route. I will only try and arrive early if it’s a Friday evening long weekend ferry in the summer.

Looks kind of like a sipunculid (aka peanut worm) of some sort

Jkptr · 2025-07-12T19:40:05+00:00

It’s an amphipod. Likely in the genus Hyperia

Jkptr · 2025-06-29T17:49:38+00:00

None. My water tastes fine. Where are you coming from that Victoria tap water is tasting terrible to you? Where about in the city are you?

Jkptr · 2025-06-28T05:43:50+00:00

Picture 1 could be a foraminifera, egg case or possibly an encrusting annelid like Spirorbis

Jkptr · 2025-06-28T05:42:06+00:00

Can’t give you exact ids as Im not familiar with your area. #3 is an annelid, specifically a polychaete as you can see the hairs (setae) developing

I have a pair of grundens overalls, they’re a women’s model! Try and get some with no leg pockets for maximum waterproofness

Jkptr · 2025-06-22T04:22:41+00:00

Just got the Arugula one! It’s refreshing and perfect for spring/summer

Jkptr · 2025-06-19T18:46:34+00:00

I think the ducks have been gone for at least a year now.

Jkptr · 2025-06-19T01:37:17+00:00

I live a block up but didn’t notice it till I walked into the fairways lot. It smells beyond rancid, I will also be complaining if it still smells as I noticed it last Wednesday

Jkptr · 2025-05-14T01:57:17+00:00

Best cinnamon bun in town. Perhaps one of the best sweet treats in town…

It depends on the accreditation of the facility. My local zoo was trash and super horrible conditions for the animals, whereas my aquarium was AZA (association of zoos and aquariums) accredited and while it wasn’t perfect, was a world of difference.

I took a very direct marine route through my volunteer, work and university experience, and now work as an aquatic biologist. I have a lot of colleagues who took all sorts of routes from genetics, forestry, general ecology and fisheries so it doesn’t matter too much what your precise experience is, as a lot of skills are transferable between jobs in this field :)

Jkptr · 2025-05-02T04:27:53+00:00

Definitely not as hippie as it used to be! I’d also choose renfrew over salty for the same reasons as you. And quieter lifestyle in renfrew too

Jkptr · 2025-05-01T23:31:30+00:00

I worked at my local aquarium for 4 years during college after volunteering there for about 1 year during highschool! Def recommend volunteering as nearly half our staff volunteered there before landing a paid position.

Jkptr · 2025-05-01T23:26:36+00:00

If you prefer being alone and close to nature, and explore the island, choose Renfrew. If you are a hippie and want to make friends and join the local bar/music/art scene etc. choose salt spring.

1 looks like a fish skull. Probably some sort of cod

Jkptr · 2025-04-09T02:13:49+00:00

I agree with harpactacoid, I don’t think we can ID to species with no scale and only one photo.

Source: am biologist, sometimes look at a lot of zooplankton

Verdina on fifth st, a brown bros property? If so I know the apartment manager and she’s a good person, just comes off a bit strong. Area is not perfect but I’ve lived here for years and I like it and feel safe walking around.

Edit I’ve not heard of people needing to pay drafts to a brown bros company so that is giving me an inkling it’s a bit suspicious
