I caught these two at work today around 4:30PM. I caught a third but I hurt it putting it in the tube and I dont think its going to make it :oops:

Sorry for the quality of the second one, condensation on the inside of the tube got in the way.


I caught this about two weeks ago, Sorry for the mold... not sure why it grew so fast.
