  3. Now this photo is really one of those unbelievable things that just should be field under alien encounters. Is it a plant, animal, bird, Christmas ornament? Great stuff!

  4. It was amazing how the snails got up the plant and stayed on it.

  5. I had no idea snails could climb like that! I wonder if it is harder to get down than climb up? (how do they turn around?)

  8. That's something I've never seen before. I never thought a snail would climb a plant in that way.

  9. The nettles are almost 1m high. I hadn't really considered it remarkable they'd climbed up, I just took it for granted. I assume snails eat nettles?
