Normally I don’t like sesame seeds, but for these little guys I’m willing to make an exception.

Today - October 8th - is world #octopus day!
So I want #poetry, #prose, and #artwork themed around those glorious #molluscs please!
(I might repost my Bob the octopus piece from a few months ago...)

🐌 Field day!
Went out collecting freshwater snails today with Jakke and @davidboukal.bsky.social 🇨🇿 in a pond close to the Austrian border in South Bohemia. Always good to get out of the office and into the mud!

Molluscs like snails use chitin to form radulae in their version of a mouth known as an odontophore, the radula are very efficient at tearing through structure acting like a saw. This efficiency has even been copied in industry. youtu.be/wED6rZAqLzg #molluscs #radula

Elberry Cove #molluscs: gastropods (so called as they're stomachs on feet, not due to their tastiness to humans), Lined Top #Snail (Phorcus lineatus) & Black-footed Limpet (Patella depressa) plus 2 bivalves, Rough Cockle (Acanthocardia tuberculata) & #invasivespecies Pacific Oyster. #Molluscmonday
