High rise living

snails in treesaestivsting snail in treeSnails in this little piece of woodland seem to like living in the trees. I presume that they are aestivating – a period of inactivity during warm or dry weather – but if so then they’ve missed out on a whole lot of mildish, wet weather. They’re always up there come rain or shine? snail in treesnails in treessnail in tree

  1. They have such beautiful shells. I haven’t seen many snails around here, but the slugs in this part of Oregon can be gargantuan and very destructive in the garden. I got some copper tape and hope that that will help keep them out of the raised beds…that is, if our garden even gets planted this year. Sigh.

    1. Oh, I hope you do manange to plant – and keep out the slugs! We get slugs and snails by the bucketload, not sure what method of protection we’re going to try this year!
