Hello Mastadon friends,

It’s been a bit since we last connected.

Still running around the other social media sites. Really, a lot of my friends are there. And I mean that in a genuine way. For instance…
About two weeks ago, a treasured twt’r mutual said he considered me as close as a sister. And it’s true; I’ve always considered him a better part of the family I’d wished for.

Inanycase, here’s a few views from this past week.

Fast movers! Brown-lipped or grove or simply the garden snail (Cepaea nemoralis) walking along on a piece of and covered bark that sits conveniently inside a large glass jar. These things are not just fast movers but they are also quite strong. Watch out for the one coming up from underneath, pushing the entire tree bark aside to make space for the shell!

This is a delightful diagram from How To Know The Land Snails. Of particular note is the visual guide to surface sculpturing.

These scientists might be having the biggest “oh sh*t” moment of their careers as they explore the oceans of a distant world. With the arsenal of defenses this mollusk-like alien has (mimicry, stinging cerata, and a massive cloud of ink), one wonders what else might be waiting for them. 🌊🌌
