Has a waxy appearance and is pliable - lots of what looks like hatched pupae, and a strong chemical (ammonia?) smell
Found beach combing on Lamoine Beach in Maine. I have never seen anything like it. My husband thinks it might be an egg sac of some kind, because it kinda reminds us of tadpole eggs.
Yes I know in the second pictures it is being held, and you shouldn't hold things you don't know. But hands were washed after.
I gave it a good 6~months of researching 🧐 but I’m pretty sure the last recorded documentation of this 🥒 species in Texas was 1922!!! UNTIL MEEE back in
January 2026.
Thanks to the amazing Cuke researchers who came through on Reddit/FB with the paper depicting the species and I found the Hubert Clark reference/noting the species in Texas once over a century ago!!! 104 years to be precise! And thank you @coastal.studieslab for sending another paper in the search for data on it!
EVERYONE MEET Isostichopus maculatus phoenius!
Peep Fig. 17/18 for reference pics of the species it was identified as! And second link is the original 1922 Clark paper reference from Texas! “Previous taxon”
Google is freaking me out that it is poison ivy.
I’ve never seen it in real life (until maybe right now!)
I just noticed the stuff on it and pulled it out of my flower bed.
I did immediately wash my hands, arms, and feet and changed my clothes.
Located in Omaha, Ne.
Wife and I just pulled this from our shower drain. Water has been draining slowly over the last couple of weeks and so we got a snake in there but nothing was coming up. We ended up duct taping two together and ended up pulling up this monstrosity which was not fitting through the drain opening. It crumbled with some needle noses but now wondering what else is down there. Unfortunately did not change much with the drain speed so my fear is that it is worse and we just can't reach down far enough.
House is from the 60s and pipes are cast iron
