I just saw a hedgehog scurrying across the courtyard!
I tried to get a shot, but was too slow.
Now that we've had a goodly rain, snails are out, and the snail hunters are on the prowl.
Snails running for fast food. ️
What’s the Name of this snail species?

A snail has crawled about 3m up our outside wall in yesterday's rain, and has fastened itself in a precarious spot.
I took the pic hours ago, but got distracted and spaced posting it until now.
Well see how long it stays; the weather calls for high 20s and sunny by Tuesday, and that spots gets direct sunlight for a good portion of the day.
Who's that crawling on my bench?

Snail season begins.

Case in point. I finish my ciggy, come back in for #PromiBigBrother, and they're already back on the carpet.

This snail has been circling the tabletop since I sat down. I've counted 3 laps so far.
I don't have my boots on, so I can't walk over for a better pic. Deal with it.
SMH How the hell did you get yourself THERE?
I returned it to ground level in the ivy.
Now another snail appears to be eating the eggs that may have been laid earlier, and the layer has moved away.
Again, i must stress this is not my field of expertise, and I may be misinterpreting the whole scene.
Is this snail laying eggs, or is it a trick of lighting? I'll have to check in the morning.
Snails are hermaphroditic, and have organs for both, but it still takes two to tango. IF they're eggs, "self fertilization" was NOT the cause.
After napping, eating, and several bong hits, I feel much better, but still pretty fucking far from OK.
I may or may not be tolerable. You'll hafta judge for yourself.
Feel free to mute or block me should I again become too much an asshole; I'm a big boy, I can handle it. I know where my towel is.
Meanwhile, here are some more snails.
"My god! It's full of snails!"

The nightmare dimension from which these biologically, evolutionarily, and osteologically improbable creatures escape has let another one cross the void into our world. It’ll come with me to work to sit next to the octopus skeleton.
