Description: About 10cm total length. One a rain-slick tiled surface, using its "pair of elongate, somewhat triangular palps that project sideways from the lower edge of the snout, one on either side of the mouth" (Herbert & Kilburn, 2004 p215), frequently touching them to the ground to "taste" for trails left by prey.

Description: These three little guys are so cute! They come in every night (through the space in the door), and eat all the flour I've put down to keep the evil ants out. They also clean up less savoury things like cat-sick.

Description: Does not make sense. The theory is that these guys go up to escape from the heat and catch the breeze. But the majority of these are on the northwest side of these poles: surely that is the hottest side of all. The predominant wind is south easterly, so again they are on the wrong side. So could it be simply to escape snake and beetle predation? But why do the birds not eat them? Where are the Thrushes? Surely this is money for jam?

Description: 8mm fellow found while repositioning rockery. With 92 recognized species, Gulella species ID depends on patient and expert observation of the number, size and shape of the 'apertural teeth' - see Herbert & Kilburn 2004 pp. 154 ff. Only possible with microscope or good hand-lens - with the head-foot removed from the shell. Needless to say this little fella was tenderly returned to the bush unharmed!

Description: Greatly excited at the thought of discovering a southern variant of a Porcelain snail (Rhachistia), I emailed these shots to Dai Herbert who quickly disabused me of my boyish enthusiasm. 15mm shell on Scadoxis leaf. Morning after heavy rains washed usual thin dust-like shell-coating clean.
