snail party

Post by Scott G »

I don't know who was happier, the snails for finding each other or the sea star for finding the party!

I assume they are doing what i think they are doing? just confusing knowing their anatomy doesn't seem like much of advantage to find more than one snail... I see this alot, but also see them getting down to business in pairs

Image

any light on that would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

That first photo is pretty sweet. Imagine just plunking that whole pile of snails into a boiling pot of butter. Bon appetite!

That's one of the bigger piles I've seen!

Here's a smaller group gettin' busy, or the aftermath.
