    What makes this weird marking on wood?

    It is like moving the lawn. They are eating not trying to go to a destination. I have seen a similar patterns on the side of house in Louisiana. It is wet with algae everywhere. My snails in aquariums do this. Also slugs behavior the same. .It is definitely something eating algae.

    Instar designations--L or i?

    I agree with the idea. I am also an aquarium person. I have some aquatic species that have renamed several times so it is still confusing.
