Title: A black swallowtail and a Chipmunk eating snails
Post by: Jimbo on May 27, 2009, 08:25:28 PM

A couple of pics from the lakeside at Hawk Cliff. Quite a few black swallowtail butterflies at the lake to-day.
and a chipmunk eating a snail. I thought they just ate seeds and stuff humanoids handed outbut this little guy was
making lunch on some really pretty shelled snails.

I have never seen a Chipmunk munching on a snail before.  :shock:
