What does a....

It certainly isn't a snake den, they don't make their own, they just use existing holes.

Thinking about it now, it seems pretty obvious

It's made by something that has strong legs and claws with which to dig through the dirt and toss it out of the hole.

All the animal holes I have seen (gopher, rabbit, ground squirrel) have dirt only in one direction coming from the hole, like in a spray pattern. This hole has dirt all over it, I have never seen an animal hole like this. Even insect holes have dirt in a single-direction spray pattern.

A crayfish hole looks like a chimney with balled mud on all sides of the hole. It can be 6-8 inches high or higher. This is when the crayfish come out of hibernation in the spring.

So, I think it is a man-made hole. Perhaps kids used a pole to make a hole, then scattered the dirt around the area.

It looks like some sort of insect activity to me... but what do I know about North American entomology?

[Charlet_2007]

[adamanteus]
