Okay, here's a tough one for you "Name the Critter Contest" maniacs. The first reader to correctly identify this species wins a free Chesapeake Bay Foundation T-shirt. Enter your guesses in the comment section below. Ready, set, go!
UPDATE: These green eggs are the spawn of the Lavas lampus, a peculiar, bioluminescent invasive species whose populations exploded in dorm rooms across the Chesapeake Bay watershed during the 1970s. April Fools! It's just a picture of a lava lamp my brother Jim sent me. THE WINNER IS MONIQUE TUCKER, who correctly guessed that it is lava lamp. Monique wins the prize! Tom Pelton
