Yes, yet more work on the Drumlin Underground fencing.

Disgusting substance of the day: Caterpillar frass. The deer water was full of it today. The waterer is under an apple tree, and there are millions of inchworms and other caterpillars feasting this time of year.

On this day in 365 urban species: English Garden Snail. I haven't seen any of these yet this year, but it's finally warm enough, and rain is predicted for Sunday, so I bet we see them this weekend. This species was probably introduced accidentally, as opposed to the European snails in San Francisco, which were deliberately introduced as livestock. Any of you readers eat snails? Personally, mollusks are not on my menu, but I like the idea of easily raised invertebrate food.
