Dear Bill,

In answer to your request, please find enclosed two pictures of Roboastra tigris for the Forum. The upper one is a juvenile specimen, and the lower one is a picture of an adult that is about to eat a specimen of Tambja abdere. Both animals were collected in Bahia de Los Angeles, Baja California, last year.

Happy new year to you and all the visitors of the Forum.

All the best,
Angel

Thanks Angel,
Is the bluish tinge in the region where the two animals are touching, secretions from the Tambja?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
