Re: Snail predation by Rove beetles?

i would take a look inside that drainpipe... remove it if you can, force the snails out by placing it into some water (i dunno if that would work, but if someone tried to drown me in a pipe i was simply holding on to... id move) ID each snail in there... perhaps some of them are this ?nitidula? thing or perhaps some of them are showing signs of damage but are not dead yet...

also set up a time lapse camera... perhaps there is a frenchy in your garden with an irregularly shaped straw??

can anyone say escargoe a la fraiche
