Field Notes

Notes:

They were in my garden, which is pretty wild, but they were quickly eating a horse nettle , so I just took their photo. First I thought they were some kind of snail but when I looked closer, I saw they were not snails. I love their dot pattern!

Thanks for that Anne. that's the kind of information we are looking for under habitat/notes. If you don't mind, I'll edit your spotting and place your recent comment in the notes section so that it makes it easy for everyone to read ( without scrolling down) and makes the spotting complete.

Interesting spotting, Anne ! It would be nice to know if they were in the wild and the plant they were on...
