Rainy night snail watching

image

The great thing about snail watching is that even if you see a big honking snail who is, in his or her own way, bolting away at top speed from the gigantic scary biped who suddenly appeared in the carport, you still have more than enough time to find your crappy camera phone, fiddle around fruitlessly with the settings to improve the photo quality, take and erase several crappy pictures and settle in exasperation on a blurry close-up. And, after all of that, the snail will have moved approximately three inches. But he or she made his or her escape during the night. Where on earth do they go?

Where on earth do they go?

They’re in your veg patch. EATING YOUR VEGETABLES!!!

Ah, that explains Mr. Cracker’s antipathy toward the snails! (As is now perfectly obvious, HE is the gardener in the family.) Oh well, the snail will find slim pickings in our veggie patch these days.

Some snail!

Also bears an uncanny resemblance to Glenn Beck…

Maybe it got et by some manner of carniverous beastie during the night.  Also, if I’m feeling generous when I get home later I’ll post some slug pr0n for everyone’s benefit.  I found a couple of them going at it in my backyard a few summers ago.

Male slug after 8 hours of coitus: “sorry, that never happened to me before.”
