Help us identify some mysterious plants and animals found in the Rockies

As more and more users spend time with MountainNature.com, we are finding that many of them have seen strange and mysterious creatures (or plants), but have been unable to identify them. In some cases, they have had a chance to photograph these wondrous plants or animals. If this sounds like you, send in your images, and we'll post them here so that our site users can take a stab at helping you identify them. Be sure to specify whether or not you wish us to use your name.

If you know the name of any of these mystery species, just drop us a line at
