Brrrr what a nightmarish way too go though, down the sides of a sand pit into the jaws of these larva, that I have to say, are particularly nasty looking! (A lot worse than the worms on Tremors)...sorry, could not resist a final "dig"! ... I am sure you will meet the "Man from Atlantis" (now this WAS bad) at some future austin blogging get together, just head toward the water feature shouting "lolly-pop" (his other favorite thing), he will be there in seconds. Thanks Bob. ...
