Sometimes you see animals that are very common, but you never see them. This month it was a Large earth snail, a slug (without a shell) and with a beautiful drawing. Wiki says "The large earth snail is a huge eater; not only plants are its food, but also supplies in cellars, dog and cat food, mushrooms and even other slugs are eaten, so it is a real omnivore. This snail can live for two to three years and hibernates." The shells have been photographed so that in due time the class of shells (Bivalvia) will also be on the website.
