   Rosemary Jorna writes from Kemp Lake Road:  On March 21 I was out on Kristiina Ovaska’s Slug and Snail walk at Devonian Park and she introduced us to Vertiginidae family of micro snails.  Today I thought I would check our maple trees and I found eight to ten of them.

   Jeremy Tatum remarks:  These tiny snails (there are several species) are from 1 to 3 mm in size.  Viewers might look at a ruler to remind themselves just how tiny this is!
