  • Next up is an insect ... Silpha atrata or the Black Snail Beetle. This spends most of its time under the bark of rotten logs looking for snails to eat. It has a particularly narrow head (you can't see it in this photo as its tucked up under its pronotum) to get inside their shells. A bit like the tiny tongs and forks humans sometimes use to extract and eat snails.
