So true Argybee, even on Antarctica. I heard this story on NPR yesterday http://www.npr.org/2012/03/06/148072123/visitors-unwittingly-bring-invasive-species-to-antarctica?ft=1&f=1007

That's interesting Clive. I sometimes think that although sapiens are responsible for considerable depletion of other life forms they are also causing the biggest life-churn this planet has seen by moving stuff all over.

I found another which was damaged and that had a white lining. http://karl.soop.org/English/gallND10.html I think that's what it is then. Thankyou Clive
