I found 4 microsnails while cleaning and putting away pots for the year. I think they are pinecone snails (Strobilops) but I'll have to take a better look with the ol USB microscope to be sure. If they are alive I'd like to try keeping them in some kind of mini terrarium.

Can anyone recommend a paper or website that describes a terrarium set up for microsnails?

My new hobby is trying to find how many species of jumping spider call my garden home. So far I've identified 4. This guy would be number 5. I think it is a Hentzia, aka long-jawed jumping spider.

I got a rare treat tonight! I looked over and saw my elusive Chilobrachys sp. 'Electric Blue' out of its burrow. I snapped as many photos as I could without distrubing it too much and these are the four best.
