Its something amateurs like me can offer the professionals.<br />.<br />I should mention the fact that it was the Blog which brought me to Bob's attention in the first place. Good to see an expert prepared to seek help from locals.<br />.<br />I have some Snail images which I will send you privately, for consideration. I processed the Millipedes first, as I knew Bob would help with them.<br />Some weird snails, to match the other creatures. Hope they will be of interest to you. <br />Seeing as you know about "soupy logs" (few people do) - you will probably understand the things I found.<br />No Velvet Worms, unfortunately - but I now know to look for them, possibly in warmer weather. Bob mentioned them as a possibility.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-67363308493800590772009-05-16T17:49:00.000+10:002009-05-16T17:49:00.000+10:00Local knowledge --- worth its weight in gold!

They saunter through, searching for termites and other juicy tidbits.Snailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063904446757916981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-51138053243199545942009-05-16T14:50:00.000+10:002009-05-16T14:50:00.000+10:00Hi Mick

I have never looked that closely at them - know what they are of course - but after reading this post will certainly have a better look next time.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.com
