I is for Ice Crawler

Ice crawlers live in mountains and glaciers. They prefer to be cold, hiding under snow and ice when the weather warms up.

Grylloblattidae - Wikipedia

[astroporifera]

While hiking the Kettle Valley Railway trail by Naramata I found a rare insect: a Grylloblattidae, or rock crawler. These insects are considered extremophiles, and are primarily found on ice and in both high latitudes and altitudes. I’ve never seen one of these before, so I was quite excited to find one.
