I saw you reblogged a moon sail, have you ever posted about their egg cases? I visited the beach one time in Washington during a super low ride and saw a lot of them and even a whole moon snail!! We didn't touch it but it was so darn cool.

no, but I HAVE talked about their murderous tendencies!

so if you live on the cascadian coast, you may have found shells with weirdly precise holes in them that look like they were bored by a rogue etsy seller with a dremmel:

well tldr, moon snail done it.

see, moon snails are predatory! they feed entirely on other snails and bivalves like clams, which they kill by rasping a hole through their shell with an extendible mouthpart called a radula that resembles an extendible chainsaw, then injecting it with a digestive enzyme and slurping up the resulting ex-animal soup.

the entire process takes about five days! talk about a way to go.

not bad for an animal that looks like a deflated bike tire under a croissant!

(maybe don't pick them up though)

Happy Holidays @lil-lemon-snails ! I am your Secret Santa for the DCABeeTeam Secret Santa Exchange! ❤

I hope you like your lil jester sweeties enjoying their own little winter craft wonderland! I'm not the best with textures but I did try my best for you. The candles are battery powered so you don't have to worry about any fires ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ I also added the line art as a lil extra coloring pages for you to color in if you'd like! (and a version without the large text under the cut too)

With the new Clangen update i'd just like to quickly clarify that upcoming moons (up to moon 34, to be exact) will not be influenced by any of the game's updates, as they have already been planned out
