Hi Glen, even it doesn't show any critters the nests are made by wasp and it would be helpful for other people to know. The "others" category is for other organisms as starfish . Also, you may consider enter it to the mexican mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8493694

Thank you for the ID Gerardo. I think I'll leave it where it is as the pictures don't show any critters :).
