I haven't seen a Velvet Worm yet. <br />Some of the other creatures I am less fond of - the blood suckers, in particular.<br />Thank you so much for your help.<br />I just wish these things followed clearer rules, eg, crustaceans which did not look like Molluscs (my recent Clam Shrimps), and the Collembola which do not look like Crustaceans to my eyes.<br />And by the way, how is a Giant Squid related to a snail? (Not that there are any giant squid here, but I just don't get that. Don't worry about trying to explain that in 20 words - (I have had a look at Wikipedia) but I still don't get it. I wish to register a protest, that's all.<br />;<br />Ah, the glorious variety of Mature, I suppose.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-35844057185641343982009-05-19T13:57:48.530+10:002009-05-19T13:57:48.530+10:00I'm loving this voyage of discovery, Denis.
Liza...I'm loving this voyage of discovery, Denis. <br /><br />Lizards, frogs, all manner of invertebrates, fungi, slime moulds and even smaller things ... A good proportion of a forest's diversity is in those rotting logs and the soil and leaf litter under and around them. You do know that these studies are addictive, don't you?Snailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063904446757916981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-42755453957057781802009-05-19T09:31:00.000+10:002009-05-19T09:31:00.000+10:00Hi Mick
