Scott Gilmore sends pictures of a Garlic Glass Snail from his garden in Lantzville. This snail is noted for its strong smell of garlic. (The scientific name alliarius means garlic.) If you have installed the latest in computer technology and place your face near to the image on the screen, you may be able to detect the odour. He also sends a picture of an American Lappet Moth, being the adult of the very caterpillar that was shown on this site on 2015 August 15. Near the bottom of the picture you can see a small oval object. It is indeed “oval” – that is, it is an egg laid by the moth.
