We followed it and eventually found what was responsible, but I thought I'd give you a chance to guess.
If you need some sense of scale, the width of the pattern (measured across the markings from top to bottom) is ~3.5 cm (~1.5 inches).
The answer will be revealed tomorrow night!

I was thinking a fish, perhaps an eel. Otherwise a lizard.
Uncle!!
BTW I've been checking in from time to time, to this amazing blog for a few months. Thank you!
I'm always so intrigued by these kinds of patterns in the sand, Jackie. Hmmm - too wide for a toe-dragging caterpillar or insect. We need a field guide for tracks of inverts! Anxious to see what you found at the end
I was thinking beetle, but the drag marks didn't compute. How about dragonfly larva?
Hi, all,
Good guesses! Not sure how much I should reveal at this time? ;) It is a terrestrial invertebrate. And here's another hint that might or might not help: The sighting was coincident with rain.
More later!
:) Jackie
