"What is It?" Wednesday

08/19/2009

This strange colony of creatures recently washed ashore and is the subject of what I'm hoping to make a regular feature, "What is It?" Wednesday.  Check out these photos and the first to correctly identify the creatures here in the comments section of this blog post will win. 

The prize this time is a copy of National Wildlife Federation's Field Guide to Insects and Spiders. 

Good luck!
