A fascinating image. Almost looks alien. Very interesting information too. "V"

outstanding shot..it does look like a vulnerable preemie, so good that you tucked it back into the soil..

Yes, they certainly bring the moles to the yard.

Nice close up on this grub. We have them in our yard along with the raccoons and moles! The moles really love these grubs - and I like to use them when fishing!
